I'm in the process of running wires in the fuselage before installing the interior fabric. Was somewhat shocked at the cost of wiring. As an example to wire the rear seat headset jacks, need 4 runs of M27500 24 ga 3 conductor shielded wire, totalling 50 feet. Aircraft spruce gets $1.12 per foot. I checked ebay, wasn't any 24ga available but best price on 22 ga was about $1.33/ft. Did some searches and found what I needed at chiefaircraft.com for 75c/foot. Also needed RG-400 coax for the GPS antennas. Spruce and others sell it for 3.30-3.50/foot. I was able to do much better on ebay with that, $2.10/foot in 20ft increments. Just do a search for RG-400 and several suppliers come up. I stayed away from those that said unmarked/unbranded.
