Netters: Wiring is always a pain no matter what type of vehicle you are working on. I have found that things are infinitely quicker and easier by installing a length of tubing made for the job to greatly improve the situation. It comes made either of aluminum or ABS and is available from most building supply stores. I lean more towards the aluminum variety as it is lighter and is soft enough to bend with a pipe bender. This makes the job of running wiring to the wing tips a breeze as it will cut its own hole thru the foam. Long runs down the fuselage are also easy as everything is kept in one nice neat bundle instead of having to crawl thru the boat to replace a broken wire. An individual wire can easily be installed or replaced without having to cut the many wire ties that we end up having to use to keep the wires together in one place. The supply stores even sell many pre-made fittings that may be required as well as sealing the tubes from unwanted substances (fuel, oil, air, insects ). There will be a slight weight penalty but I feel this is greatly overshadowed by it's value as a time saver in building as well as ease of maintenance. Doug Rupert Simcoe Ontario
