Strobe Wiring - 1 hour (274 Total)
Today I routed the wire that will power my strobe. I used the same three conductor, shielded cable that I used before.
I made sure that the cable did not wrap around or interfere with the push-pull tube or trim cable within the boom tube.
The wire enters the boom tube in the same hole used for the trim cable.
I placed a rubber grommet inside one of the existing holes in the frame to prevent damage to the strobe wire and trim cable. The grommets I had were too small for this hole so I cut a couple of them up and pieced them into the hole. They seem to be snug and secure but I may need to glue them if they start falling out.
I hesitated before routing the strobe cable below the boom tube. I wanted to route it up and over the electrical panel but these seemed excessive and I did not have a wire clamp on the top edge of the panel to provide strain relief.
