Left Wing Wiring + Avionics

We finished wiring the left wing, as well as adding avionics such as regulated pitot tube, and outside air temperature probe. Some wires were twisted together to reduce EMI as well as a cleaner look.

Lights

Wiring the lights for the nav/strobe lights as well as taxi/landing lights was pretty straightforward, same as the right wing. The power wires for landing and taxi lights were twisted using a drill, and covered in sheaving, to prevent from chaffing. Wires near the tip rib. Wires going through channel, zip tied. Wires going through channel, zip tied. Wires near the root rib.

Pitot Tube

Installing the pitot tube involved several things such as figuring out a mount for the heating controller, as well as installing grommets for the wiring as well as the pneumatic tubing for pitot and AoA. Pitot mast riveted to brackets. Clecoeing the pitot mast. Pitot mast riveted. Pitot mast riveted. Pitot tube wires and tubes, M4 rivnuts for attaching the controller. Pitot and AoA tube attached, M4 rivnuts for attaching the controller. Pitot and AoA tube installed. Pitot tube screwed to the mast using blue loctite. Pitot tube wire prepped. Pitot tube attached, controller attached and wired. Using zip ties and transparent tube to space the wires and tubes between ribs.

OAT Probe

Installing the Outside Air Temperature (OAT) probe involved riveting a doubler near the root inspection hatch. Additionally, a ground wire was also installed in addition to the OAT probe wire. Cutting doubler plate from a spare rib material. Doubler plat cut and deburred. Doubler plate clecoed. Doubler plate riveted. OAT probe installed, inside view. OAT probe installed, outside view. OAT probe wiring. Using zip ties and transparent tune to space the wires and tubes between ribs.

Avionics

The two major avionics components installed in the left wing were the OAT Probe and the Heated/Regulated Pitot Tube

Bonus

The wires are very neatly organized, and labeled, bonus images in this section. Right wing wires trimmed, and labeled. Left wing wires trimmed, and labeled. Left wing wires, and tubes, going neatly through the ribs.
