Hey all,
I have been trying to cover all my bases before I take my fuse apart for deburring and dimpling and would like to make this whole shebang work smoothly with as much foresight as possible.
I chose to use Electrical Nonmetallic Tubing as my conduit of choice for ease of wire pulling. I left about a foot hanging out of the wing and my plans are to enter the fuse DIRECTLY without an offset from the standard Vans location in the wing root (bottom or the rib, 7" back from the main spar).
This will allow me to silicone around the fuse penetration and seal the drafts up nicely when the wings are on for good.
(Dan, thanks for the pic!)
QUESTIONS:
1) Is anything in the way under the seat that would preclude me from entering the fuse here?
2) Do you see anything inherently wrong with this idea?
Bill Repucci says there is too much going on when you are fitting the wings and this would be just a whole other thing that complicates the process.
I figure that this will allow me to run the wires more easily, as they can be run later, after the wings are installed. (my conduit is DESIGNED for pulling wires in after it is installed, unlike Vans').
I am thinking of just stubbing the conduit into the fuse about an inch or so.
I don't understand why Van locates his penetration under the aileron pushrod. This method just seems easier to me. I figure that I must be overlooking something?
Anyone?
