I installed 4-pin molex quick disconnects at the wing root for the strobes. I want to say it took 13-14 feet from tip to root including service loop. I ran my wires all in a single conduit - including nav. It's unlikely that shielded wire will radiate much except at the point where it's been cut.

There are Amp MateNLok connectors at the wing roots, and the wiring runs in a separate conduit from the Nav antenna. The systems works perfectly without any electrical pop or whine (unlike my C182 strobe setup). Doesn't answer the cable length question, but just a confirmation that the long strobe wire setup if done by the directions (ground the shield at the power supply, leave it ungrounded at the strobe end) works great.

Can anyone tell me the width between the outside of the main tires, and the distance from the nosewheel to the mains? I need to know how wide to make the shop doorway and the gate. I don't know when the kit will be ordered, but the tools are slowly being acquired and the planning is underway.
