How are you guys attaching wire to the airframe where it does not run through conduit?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

My approach was to avoid conduit whenever possible. Tried to follow standard wiring practices as I understood them from the standards book (forget the name).

The short answer is cushioned Adel clamps, those hard plastic snap grommets, and a couple of other tie wrap-based gadgets. I also found that waxed nylon string sold for wiring work to be my best friend.

A good starting point is Van's electrical kit, or at least the plans for it. It shows how to run fat and thin wires from the battery compartment forward, through the fire wall, along the engine, etc. There are a few bits of hardware in the kit that can come in handly but most of it is clamps and snap grommets. I don't recommend the kit unless you plan to do exactly what they did. I certainly didn't, but the plans show RV10 specific wiring solutions that you can use along with some hardware suggestions.

Re conduit, the only conduit I used was an empty pair under the cabin floor to be used for any wiring I couldn't foresee before closing it up, and a run in one wing so I could close it up before running the final wires for some wing tip stuff. But otherwise, I avoided conduit and feel good about it, though conduit works well too.

The best source of specific techniques is the Aeroelectric list but I'm sure you know about it.

I bought stick-on bases for ty-raps from Stein. As long as there's no great stress, they'll stay stuck on.

Not sure exactly where you mean but if you mean across flat surfaces: I bought T&B 1" square self-adhesive wire tie mounts. I carefully peeled off the double-sided foam tape, sanded the back with 80 grit emery paper on a flat surface to roughen it up, then attached where I needed it with Goop adhesive.

Similar mounts:

Klik bond fasteners can be epoxied in place. Good anchor. Spruce, or distributed out of Carson City NV I believe.

I’ve been doing the same thing. While not flying yet, I have had many on for years now in temps from below 0F and over 100F and have yet to have one come loose. In the states you can find it under a number of brand names; “Amazing Goop”, “E6000”, Shoe Goo”, etc.  Some of them have “different” versions for plumbing, carpentry, etc but I have yet to find a difference in the actual formulation. They are all referred to as an all purpose contact adhesive and sealant.
