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 :-) Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ross & Shirley Leach" Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Electrical Wire > --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Ross & Shirley Leach" > > Eric > > Stick with aircraft wire because it will not go up in flames if there is a > short.

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. Eric --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Ross & Shirley Leach" Eric 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. ---------------------------------
