| Subject: | Electrical wiring routing |
For those of you who have gotten to or past this point, is there a
universl choice for routing electrical wiring and coax from the wings to
the instrument panel?
There will be one nav coax, one MB coax, switched 12V supply to strobe
power pack (CreativAir, mounted on center spar carry-through?), power
leads to position lights and landing lights, RiteAngle AOA sensor on
left wing and TruTrak wing servo on right wing.
I guess the choice is either through the sidewalls or into fuselage
center and forward to the firewall. Trying to determine if there is a
consensus. Thank you for any advice you can offer.

There is definitely not a concensus on this. There's no RIGHT or WRONG
way either. Just run your wires in a way that lets you can get at them
somewhat easily in case you need to add or remove something. Make sure
they don't chafe on anything (either by using conduit or securing them
to stuff with cushioned clamps and what not), and consider trying to
minimize the length of the run to keep weight & cost & resistance low.
Sorry to be vague, but it's literally a blank sheet...do it however you
feel is best.
There are probably a few examples on the web that you could follow.
"Known good."
Van's does sell wiring harness kits, so if you don't mind being confined
to their layout and design that's an easy way to go. I can probably
count on one hand the # of people I know who used Van's wiring harness.
Most seem to prefer laying out their wires themselves.
Hope this 2 cents helps.
