Hi Chris

All my wiring runs either side just below the fuselage joins and then 
under the door sills. Goes straight into the back of the panel that way 
with out having to come back in from the outside.

What about the transponder?

today is regarding the best routing for the cables I have in the empennage
before I put the top on.

to minimize the "stuff" I put in it.

o'clock)
or toward the bottom corners (4-5 and 7-8 o'clock)? I assume the best
routing of these cables will eventually be trough one of the top corners of the
tunnel (mono) so how do you transition from the empennage routing to the tunnel
hole (all the way up to the CM or further back at the baggage bulkhead)?.
Since the baggage bulkhead and its floor is not yet installed it's kind of hard
to figure what the best routing is at this point.
