Why not under the longeron? Because the area is already crowded. I have
many, many things running over the main spar or on near it: throttle cable
(mine is wall mounted), fuel lines (I have two long range tanks in the
wing roots), VHF and transponder antenna cords, static and pitot lines,
strobes lights wires, nav lights wires, electric trim wires, stick grip
cables (I have dual stick with PTT and trim switches), Intercom cable ...
and rudder cables, of course. So, a couple holes will give me some relief,
and even save some weight.
Actually, I was thinking more of putting a tube through the hole to
protect for ingress (water, moisture, insects, dust...). For
reinforcement, a small quantity of pywood will do.

Objet : Re: KR> Holes through spars
Your static is going to your instrument panel anyway, so, why not just run
it under the longeron? you can run static on one side and wires on the
other. you can also build a little tunnel just under each longeron, to be
able to accommodate what ever you want.
However, I think that re-inforcement is a good thing, but probably not
necessary, if the holes are not too large and they are cleanly cut.

There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for

drilling holes in order to route the various wires, and the
