What route did you take to get wiring back to the tail/rudder?

Along one of the J-channels on the right side.  Just lay the wire in 

there and fasten with tie wraps through holes in the J-channel.  I 

believe that was how it was suggested in the Vans wiring plan.



Great game

Pilot (left) side, 2nd J channel down from the longeron.  laid the wire 

in the channel and drilled #40 holes to tie the wire down with wax lace.

Exactly where I am now. I have an 18 ga, three wire shielded cable for strobes. Two wire 16 ga (I think) for tail light . Five wire non shielded 26 ga rudder trim servo. They all have to exit the fuselage and enter the rudder. I have a 1/4" hole that passes through the alum extrusion that the tie down eye bolt screws into. It's in between the two top mount bolts. I would like to enlarge the hole to accommodate the above mentioned wires but that's pushing things. What would you recommend?

Thanks Ron

The optional wire harness plans call out a 3/16" hole, 11/16" inboard 

from the top left bolt that goes into the extrusion that the eye bolt 

screws into.  I have not yet drilled the hole, but it is off center and 

I would assume that it misses the center of the extrusion where the eye 

bolt goes into.  There is also a note that a snap bushing is not 

required, just shrink wrap the wires for protection.

The eye bolt does not go up into the extrusion that far so it does not become a problem. Weakening the extrusion is my only concern. With the extrusion a snap bushing would not snap into place. A alternative method of protection would have to be provided.
