 | This is the strobe transformer mounted at the wing tip. A switched 12 volt source will be provided.

Everywhere wires have to pass through ribs, I created a grommet from rubber vacuum line material held in place by silicon sealant/adhesive. I also flooded the hole with silicon sealant/adhesive (the white stuff). This holds the wiring assembly very securely.

Transporting the right wing. This is a motorcycle trailer with a plywood platform bolted to the top of it. It was modified solely for the purpose of hauling this wing to the airport. It worked quite well!
