Hey rob, Good Questions on all the points. it's always easier to copy a good idea that come up with your own.
Wing wiring - Figure how many wires you really need. What is out in the outer panel. Mine? Nav Lights, Landing lights, and an aileron trim servo. I used a common ground at each , but with low draw on LED had an issue and would suggest running a ground back to at least the center section of the wing.
Location. - My S wing had 1/2 irrigation funny pipe in the aft 4 inches of the wing. That's plenty of space for the wires required. And since thats where the outer panel pivots - also a good place for pitot lines.
For transition from outer panel to fuselage- The S wing I built, the wires came into the fuselage ahead of the rear spar attach, under the seat, into the tunnel forward to just ahead of the spar and then under the passengers seat as the wires reach the back of the panel. On my current T- the wires are ahead of the front spar - enter the fuselage at mid point between the wing spar and nose of the wing. Then its up the side of the fuselage to the panel. That's also using molex connectors to join the harnesses.
At one point I had posted photos in the thread 66WT coming back - But many of the earlier photos have been corrupted on this site for unknown reasons.
Hope this helps.
