This evening I really had a hard time. When I installed the lighting option I tried
to outsmart myself. I figured because I
installed the lighting option it would not be necessary to put a pull-string in
the wing, so I left it out. Now, to do
the upgrade I need to pull in 2-additional wires. No sweat, I explained to Arlene, I will use
one of the existing wires to pull-in a string and then use the string to pull
in the existing and new wires. I pulled
the WH-B212 wire with a string attached and all went well. Then as I tried to pull the wires into the
wing, the wires came off of the string. No pull string and no more wires to pull a new string to the wing tip.
I decided to remove the landing light and see if there
was a way to use a wire from the landing light to pull a string to that point
and then get it from the landing light to the wing tip. I cut one of the landing light wires and used
it to pull a string into that point in the wing. I used a piece of safety wire to fish from
the landing light to the wing tip. Success
once again.
Then the dreaded happened. Somehow, and I still don't know how, I
managed to pull one of the wing tip wires back into the wing. I tried and tried
but I was unable to fish it back to the wing tip. I tried to pull a string, re-pull the wire
and I continued to have nothing but problems.
At this point, due the problems which continued to multiply I have a
pull string in the wing from the root to the tip. All 3-wires from the root to the tip on
laying on top of the wing. I will try
again tomorrow to pull the wires into the wing and this time secure the ends so
they cannot be pulled out.
