Hi All,

I have installed Whelen strobe and position lights on the wingtips of my 

XS mono. I installed the strobe "box" under the baggage bay. Now I need 

to wire it from the wing root to switches on the panel and to the strobe 

box in back.



I am looking for advice on where in the fuse at the wing root to route 

the wiring. The wires come out of the wing root aft of the spar. I have 

a space under the door sill to route wires. I am just trying to decide 

on a good method and placement for the connection at the wing root, and 

routing the strobe cable back to the box.



Happy Holidays,  Kevin

Kevin,

FWIW, I routed the power wiring from the panel, down the starboard side under the door sill and straight back along the fuselage through the baggage bay bulkhead and on to the power supply.  I did this because all my antenna cables route under the port door sill and I wanted to keep the antenna wires as far as possible from the power wiring.  I run the power from the power supply to the wings under the baggage bay floor and out the front into the "well" area between the baggage bay front and seat back.  From there through the fuselage into the wing root area.  I then connect the wiring to trailer wiring plugs as recommended by 'Lectric Bob Nuckolls.  You can go to my build web page, thence to the last album (Y6 Q4 2007), page 2 bottom for pics of the external setup.  This shows where the wiring exits the fuselage and the connectors used there and on the wing roots.



There are additional pics of the internal set-up in earlier build albums.



Let me know if you need further clarification.



Good building and great flying,

Bob Borger

Bob,

Thanks for the reply. I'm going at it the same way.

I had not looked at build web page for some time. Thanks for all the 

good info...

Kevin,



There was a note from Andy in a Tech Talk (Issue 41) that addresses where to bring pitot static lines through the side of the fuselage.  The preferred location is in front of the seat back near the top of the spar aperture.  The comment given there is "due to the proximity of the wing lift sockets (quite important parts) the positioning of the holes through the fuselage side in the area is important". 



I used this same location for the wiring to each wing.  The wiring in the wing is aft of the spar, but there is plenty of room (the wing faring is big) for it to pass over the spar to enter the fuselage.



Hope this helps.
