Supporting the wires.Timer icon3h

September 27, 2025

A bit of work installing hardware to support the wire bundles.

I installed a couple of ClickBond standoffs and zip tie supports to route the wires around the aileron bellcrank.

Also, I 3D-printed small sleeves for the 22AWG stall sensor wire (I need to remember to prime the area around the zip tie support).

Overall, the area around the aileron bellcrank looks like this now.

Unfortunately, the NAV antenna hole is slightly misplaced -- if I was to drill it now, I would move it a bit towards the top skin. Somewhere in the circled area. However, since there is alredy three holes in that part of the rib web, I think, I'm fine with the way it is now. It is separated from the bellcrank mechanism by more than 1/2", and the cushion clamp should hold it firmly.

An unfortunately located hole.
