Treavor, There is no need to cut the wing to lay the wire. Go and get a piece of 1/2" EMT conduit that is 10 feet long. On one end use your dremel tools to cut some teeth into the conduit. Essentially you are making a 10 foot long hole saw. Since you are cutting through foam, you can then, by hand, drill the hole lengthwise through the wing in the location you wish for your wires to run. Once you have the homemade 10 foot hole saw through the wing take a fish tape and push it through the EMT conduit to push out any foam which is now inside the conduit. Once that is done use the fishtape to pull your wires back through the conduit. You could leave the conduit in the wing as it is minimal weight or you can remove the conduit by securing the wires on one end and slowly pulling the conduit out of the wing slowly turning it as you do so. Hope this helps. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flykr2s at charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com
