Default glider wing build question

Putting together a Magellen E currently (duplicate of an Omega glider) and I'm trying to route the servo wires through the mini drinking straws that run through the wings. One of them will pass through with no issue. When I try to run the second servo wire it is a PITA. Any tips or tricks on how to do this without sprouting more grey hairs? Thanks a lot.

Easy. First, make sure the joints are pointed in the direction to allow easy passage. Tie a small piece of sponge, paper or cloth to a length of fishing line and blow it through the tube. Use that line to pull the wires through. Alternately, you can drop a sewing needle and thread down the tube and use that to pull a stronger line through.
