 Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:24 am Post subject: Wiring conduit and lower skin riveting - RV-9 Wings |
 |
|
I'm about to do one of two things - rivet the lower wing skins, or run the
corregated plastic wiring conduit though the wing ribs. Any advice as to
the preferred order? Running the conduit after the lower skin is on looks
like a mjor pain, but working around the conduit during riveting looks to
be troublesome as well. The tubing will be running through holes I
drilled towards the bottom of the ribs in the web below and centered
between two lightening holes. Thanks in advance for any help!

If you put the conduit in the upper half of the rib, you could
install it after riviting the top skin, but before the bottom, it should
be out of the way. I don't know how different the -9 wing is and if there
would be problems with the aileron pushrods with my plan.

I did it both ways. On the first wing I ran the conduit first, and
didn't like the riveting hassle, so I ran the conduit after riveting the
second wing. It also depends on the size holes you drill for the
conduit. On the first wing, I went with the 'recommended' hole size
(3/4" IIRC) and running the conduit is a super pain even with the skin
off because of the tight fit. So on the second wing I went with a
larger hole (7/8" I think) such that pulling the conduit was no problem,
and dabbed some Goop on each rib just for good measure.

Run the conduit before riveting the bottom skins....Trust me, you will NOT
be able to pull the conduit through the holes in the ribs without access.
Riveting around the conduit is no biggie compared to the pain of riveting
the bottom skins on.

See the attached picture for a different solution. I had quick-build
wings so I used CPVC and pipe suspension hangers. The wing is upside
down in the picture.
