| Subject: | Cable routing--quick build wings? |
See uploaded picture in SR-Moose, 106 S/M Wings.
In taking apart one of my wing leading edge skins, I discovered that the
plastic tube that protects wires as well as my pitot / static tubes was
simply zip-tied to all of the leading edge ribs. As you can see in the
uploaded picture, after about 230 hours in my plane, the "protective" tube
in mine is a short time away from cutting wires / tubes. About half of the
rib-attachments show cuts of this magnitude.
I think someone told me that Moose quick build wings all have their wires /
pitot tubes routed (zip-tied) like this. Is that true, or am I just lucky?
Seems that there's a lurking problem out there...

Interesting. I'd not have thought that the vibration could but through the tube
like that. But I reckon it can.
I wonder what would be a prefered method for doing this... pondering... Is there
a 90-degree clamp designed for this type of situation, I wonder? Nothing
that I saw in the ACS catalog... hmmm... Perhaps glue/epoxy a rubber/nylon edge
piece where the conduit meets the metal?
Best regards,
Chris

I reckon it would look something like this, now that I've been looking over some
other construction photos:
I'll keep this as a mental note for myself when it comes my time :-)

Hello Chris,
I believe clamps such as these are the preferred attach method:

Thanks Ted,
I saw those in the catalog, but I didn't see how they'd make the 90 degree turn.
That's when I ran across the photo mentioned previously that showed a 90 degree
bracket attached to the wing framework, then the clamp attached to the bracket.
I thought that maybe there was one with this angle already built in, but
I guess not. Rather simple solution, though :-)
Thanks again,
Chris
