Routing Of Wiring For S7 SS Trim ActuatorDave,
Mine is a Model IV, but I have trim on the rudder and elevator plus the
aft position lights there. Just for a couple of ideas, My first Model
IV I drilled some cross holes through the bottom stringer that I then
tied the wire bundle to. I did the same on a current IV project. That
would put the wires where you want them for a console run. I put
connectors on the wires so in the event of servo or lighting issues, I
could simply unplug the units and put them on the bench. I know of
some who have run different types of tubing to the back so wires could
be run through it, something like the conduit electricians use. Some
have used rigid PVC and others have used the black poly landscaping
irrigation tubing. Another guy ran rigid aluminum tubing (maybe 3/8")
where he wanted the wires go go and tied the wire to the outside of
that. A thought on the console run - it gets quite tight right at the
bulkhead at the seat front. you will have flaps, rudder cables, fuel
lines and wires going through there. To allow for free control movement
and prevent chafing, it will require a bit of planning. Some sort of
conduit there might be a good idea.
Hope this helps a bit.
Lowell

Subject: Kitfox-List: Routing Of Wiring For S7 SS Trim Actuator
I am building a Series 7 Super Sport, and I am at the point of
installing the electro-mechanical trim actuator. Can anyone who has
completed their aircraft provide me with any detailed advice on the best
way to route the wiring from the tail through the fuselage to the switch
on the console?
Thanks,
Dave
