I think of drilling holes through the hollow part of the fore and aft spars, inside the cockpit, in order to route the various wires, and the Pitot-Static tubing. At present, they go around the spars. - Has anybody done that? - How big can I make the holes? - Do I need to reinforce the plywood wh

Your static is going to your instrument panel anyway, so, why not just run it under the longeron? you can run static on one side and wires on the other. you can also build a little tunnel just under each longeron, to be able to accommodate what ever you want. However, I think that re-inforcemen

I have a couple holes through my spars also, The one thing that I followed was the practice of structural steel beams of keeping the hole in the center of the height and there is also a formula of hole size to web height that tells you when you need to start to reinforce the web. But none of it may

Howdy. In structural theory, the web of the spar is primarily asked to carry the sheer load of the aircraft at any given point along its length. The spar caps, of course, carry the primary compression and tension loads. With this being true, it seems to me that inside the actual aircraft, the
