 Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2009 5:17 pm Post subject: Conduit Placement in QB RV7 Wings |
 |
|
Can't decide if this is a good thing to do or not. I need to run conduit in my QB wings but there are no consistent tooling holes anywhere except where Vans put the pitot holes and the one tooling hole above that. (actually below if the wing is right side up).
It would be pretty easy to put a 3/4 hole in place of the pitot holes and in the tooling holes above with a 3/4 step drill and a 4 foot extension but it would get pretty close to the spar. Is there an edge distance issue with this or does it even apply? Doing it anywhere else without the tooling holes is problematic?
Any comments, suggestions, pictures appreciated. <<...>>

Hi Bill,
For better or for worse, that's how I did mine. The edge clearance does make me a little nervous especially after I drilled them (!) but I think its alright. There's a giant hole right next to it (the lightening hole), so what's the difference? See the attached photos...

Now that's pretty neat! Between the Vans Diagram on an earlier post and this, I think I can get it done without any holes. Really like the joist hanger idea, never saw that before and it's a lot easier than adel clamps.
Thanks a bunch, as usual, the list is just an amazing source of almost instant information.
Thanks Bill S

This is what I did: CPVC? (lighter than regular PVC) and joist hangers from Big R Ranch Supply.
