I would like to drill holes in the rear ribs of my XL to route the
wiring for nav/strobe lights. My problem is I don't know where to
locate the holes.
Can anyone tell me the rules for where to locate small new holes in
wing ribs? Is it just a matter of finding a spot with a lot of
distance from edges and other holes?
Thanks,
Paul

This won't help you locate the holes but some builders run a piece of PVC
pipe from root to tip to make pulling future wires (adding or replacing)
easier.

Paul- On my old plans (12/02) there is a hole for elec wires located at
480mm back of spar rivet line and 40 mm down from top of each rib. See
6-LLO-1. Hope this helps

Thanks Al.
Yes, that does help. That seems to be a feature removed from the new plans.

Drip tubing makes a great light weight conduit to run those wires through. Jack in Los Osos ca

Orignal question:
"Can anyone tell me the rules for where to locate small new holes in wing
ribs? Is it just a matter of finding a spot with a lot of distance from
edges and other holes?"
Answer:
"This won't help you locate the holes but some builders run a piece of PVC
pipe from root to tip to make pulling future wires (adding or replacing)
easier."
More info:
There is also soft (bendable) aluminum tubing from Aircraft Spruce that is
5/8" OD and .035" wall thickness that would be alot lighter than PVC and
you can buy rubber grommets or snap bushings to fit it. You buy as many
linear feet as you need and it ships to you as a 24" daimeter coil. Not
terribly expensive and cut to length there are no splices to pull wire
through.
