I'm in the process of running my conduit in the wings and am curious
how much conduit I should leave extended beyond the outboard and
inboard most ribs?

Outboard, only a couple inches or so. inboard, you could possibly even
extend it into your fuselage if you wanted, so maybe 16 inches for
spare, but even if you only go a couple inches past the rib, you're
probably fine.

Jeff,

I left about an inch at the tip, this was plent to allow the wiring to go either forward or aft. After the wires left the conduit I secured them with a cushioned clamp on the tip rib.

My root wiring is terminated at a 16 pin AMP barrel connector so my conduit terminates at the first rib inboard from the root rib and the wires go to the connector straight from there. If I was running wires right from the fuselage to the wing I would do it the same way as the tip, allow a nice service loop and secure to the root rib with cushion clamps. You would not need too much conduit left outside the rib, just enough to secure it to the rib and allow your wires to travel in your desired direction. I secured the conduit with red silicone prior to cutting it off with a hobby razor saw.

Not a -10 but we extended at least 6" beyond what we thought was enough &
added at least 12" more wire at both ends. We also ran two extra wires "just
in case". Did we use them ?? Yep, when we added the individual strobe
lights. KABONG Do Not Archive

I wouldn't leave any more than you need to possibly put something on to keep
it from receding.
