Would you install lights?

If I ever wanted to use it it would need replacing. a light weight straight run cable duct with a loop of light builders twine from end to end would have been a better option. lacing the wiring and the pitot tubing to every rib just hasnt proven to be the best option.(it took 2 months to replace the pitot tubing) Stealth Pilot For light weight, go with "wiring loom". It's cheap, extremely light, and designed to surround and protect wiring. Running wires down it blind is not easy. The wire ends want to catch on the ribs. Solve that by screwing on a small wire-nut (or make sure you have the twine, as Stealth suggests). |

Solve that by screwing on a small wire-nut (or make sure you have the twine, as Stealth suggests). Another option I read about, years ago, was to take a piece of mylar and roll it into a tube. Slide it into the wing, and it'll uncoil as far as it can for the largest possible cableway for later use. Ron Wanttaja |

Lou I vote for at least installing the wiring for the lights. You can buy inexpensive, rigid plastic tubing in various diameters. I would recommend 3/4" to 1", secure it to the ribs, etc. You can then run the wiring through the tubing when you wish. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |

If I heard that once, I heard it a hundred times. What I wouldn't give to hear it again. :-( Fellow grows up in New England and has a real taste for a fish delicacy called "scrod" (a type of codfish only found in NE waters). He gets sent to the midwestern headquarters and after a year or so gets called back to the New York office for a meeting. Drooling at the thought, he hops into a JFK cab and asks the cabbie if he knew where he could get scrod. The cabbie turns around and says, "Buddy, I've hoid dat question ten t'ousand times, but dat's the FOIST time I've ever hoid it in de plupoifict subjunctive." Jim |
