Any "rules of thumb" about how much twisting to do of the various
avionics wires?
In practice, it turns out the actual twist rate isn't critical.
When I'm twisting by hand in random hotel rooms, I shoot for at least a
couple turns per inch. But, a "pro tip", clamping one end of the two
conductors, then putting the other end in a cordless variable speed
drill's chuck is a slick way to get nice even twisting and more twists
per inch. I'll do a few feet this way, then cut suitable lengths for
each of the things I need as I build an av-bay.
Oh, and since people ask, I like 22 AWG stranded with PVC insulation
when wiring up my ebays. Your mileage may vary...
