I ran wires along the bottom inside of the fuselage against the sides up behind the seat to the rear spar connection then thru the wing to the tip( or in anyone elses case,.. desired location),..I did put connectors at the point where the spar meets the fuselage in case I ever had to completely remove the wing.
Nathaniel , Extra wire for the fold. You could put cannon plugs there but just more failure points and oops if you forget to unplug during a wing fold.
Most just leave a little extra wire there, maybe 3 inches or so and the wing will fold nicely without putting stress on the wires that run out to the wing tips via the inside of the rear spar. These can include strobe/nav lights, landing lights, pitot tubing along with camera cables in my Model 4.
