Brief Description:  Ran heated pitot tube connections throught the win

Had to use a semi stiff wire (old vacuum cleaner cord) to get it through the tube in the wing, Then pulled a string back through and attached the pitot tube, AOA tube and the wiring for the heated pitot tub through the tube in the wing and out the pitot tube mount point in the wing. Used a large cable tie to keep it from pulling back into wing. Removed 3 factory connectors from the high current pitot tube heater wiring and replaced them with the automotive connectors supplied by Pipistrel (smaller so they will fit through the pitot tube opening. Attached same connectors to wiring for pitot tube heater coming out of the wing. Purchased a new connector to match sensor connector on pitot tube from Digi-key so I didn't have to remove factory connector(Molex micro-fit) on pitot tube (much smaller than the one Pipistrel gave me (Molex mini-fit jr. connector)). Attached Pipistrel suppled connectors (12 pin round female connecter) to all of the wiring coming out of the root of the wing (Pitot tube heater and sensor wires and 4 strobe light wires). Used an Ohm meter to figure out which wires went to which pin in the suppled male connector and then pushed the corresponding wire into the female connector so that tha same color coded wire male end connected to the same color on the female end.
