<\/a>The quickbuild wings come with a main wiring channel in each wing. These roughly 5\/8″ diameter hole have nylon inserts and are intended by Vans for the wingtip wire bundles.\u00a0 Because of added electronics for heated pitot, aileron trim, autopilot servo, and the like, I wanted addition channels (thus the custom wire brackets from previous posts).\u00a0 I also wanted dedicated grounding lines to the wingtips, so additional channels were created.\u00a0 Here a template is used for reproducing the hole placement in the wing ribs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once measured, the 7\/16″ holes are punched and then drilled with an angle head holding threaded bits.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ==================<\/p>\n PITOT MAST<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ===========<\/p>\n MISCELLANOUS ACTIONS<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ===========<\/p>\n AILERON ACTUATION<\/p>\n A series of miscellaneous activities were performed on the wings in the last few weeks.\u00a0 This work was staged before any final riveting the bottom skins, as access is so much easier with the skins still off.
