Brief Description:  Install Electrical in the Wings

Today my daughter and her fiance are coming over to help rivet together the wing leading edges. While waiting for them I decided to go ahead and see if I could get the electrical conduit I bought from Vans to go in the holes I drilled in the ribs. It was tough but starting in the middle and working inboard and outboard (Photo #1) was some good advice I got off the internet as was using a hair dryer to warm up the plastic (photo #2) and make it a little more pliable helped alot too. When all done I used a little RTV on both the inboard and outboard ribs to (photo#3) seal it in place even though it fit pretty tight in the ribs anyway.
