Brief Description:  Tail Nav/Strobe light wire

I continued on running the wires to the rear of the airplane to get that completed.....a chore with a 6' 3" frame to wiggle through the tail section. I have the VOR/GPS/LOC coax run but need to put one support in the tail for the cable.

I worked on routing the Nav/strobe tail light to the back where it will insert into the rudder. I was thinking of routing through the gear tower like other wires but began to ponder other ways. I finally decided to run it down the left side of the fuselage and use the tie downs for the static line to secure this wire also. So starting in the front I began weaving the wire through the airframe until I got it all the way to the back.

I drilled a hole for securing the line in the aft most main section of the fuselage and decided that it may be a good place to use a clip nutplate. Using the nutplate will circumvent having to try to hold a nut, washer and screw with the adel clamp......instead I only have the adel clamp and screw to manipulate....we will see how it goes!
