I'm getting ready to drill all the holes in the ribs and I'm wondering what you guys think of the current plan:
Vans conduit in the recomended location on both wings for wingtip light, antenna coax, Duckworks. On the left wing, use the snap bushing for the pitot tube (per the plans) and right under it install a 1/4" grommet in the tooling hole for heated pitot wiring (1/4" may be too big...it's the gretz so it has a bunch of extra wires for their panel indicators).
On the right wing, use a 1/4" grommet in the tooling hole for a TruTrak servo. I measured this out and I think this will allow it to clear the aileron bellcrank (it'll go right under it.
Does this sound right?
Also, I'm curious why everyone make forms and templates for drilling the ribs for the conduit? Why does it need to be so precise? The stuff is quite flexible and I can't imagine that a 1/8" misalignment would matter much. What am I missing here?
