Brief Description:  Wing light wiring

I continued working on getting the wing lights wiring planned and installed. I installed two snap bushings in the center of the floor section because I may run some wires in that area (not 100% sure but it wouldn't hurt to have them there anyway).

I began to ponder the different routing for the light wiring. I decided to use all sheilded wiring for the lights which makes it just a little more bulky but offers a number of advantages. Having the three rolls of wires for the wing tip lights, the nav/strobe lights, and the wing lights, I ran the left wing lights through the center belly to the right side of the aircraft, up the gear tower and over to the panel area where the switches were located.

After looking at the overall access for the wires on the right side and other considerations I decided to remove them and re-run them backup the left side and gear tower. I looked at that install and pondered it and decided to call it quits for the night and think on it some more.
