Brief Description:  Pitot Tube wiring #1

Not alot of stuff done.
Essentially I started to run the wing wires (strobes, nav lights, taxi/landing light) and realized the conduit for the left wing (and the right) goes from root to tip. Instead of cutting a hole in it mid-way for the pitot heat wire I elected to put grommets in the rib tooling holes which was very convenient and easy. The rest of the time I spent trying to research what wire guage to use for the heat. Various references led to answers that ranged from 18, 16, or 14 gauge wire for the distant and 100W load on the pitot heat element. Since the SteinAir master wiring kit doesn't include 14ga I had to run out and get some today at Lane Av.
