Eric,
For a little (?) more I was able to order black striped and red-striped
aircraft wire from Aircraft Spruce.
Not sure it really matters in a wood wing - and you could definietly
identify what wire was what with a spare length of wire and a
volt-ohmmeter..
... but the striped wire IS kind-of neat :-)

Thanks for the tips and joke...it is a joke about the wing above ground isn't it?
Not sure about your humor down under. I don't know enough about circuits to
recognize an eletrician joke when I see it. Not worried about the wing. I need
be able to determine which wire to hook up to the power source wing tip lights.

Stick with aircraft wire because it will not go up in flames if there is a
short. If the wing is wood it does not matter which wire is what. Think
about it. Yes the wing is above ground. Well that's what a electrician
would say.
