Brief Description:  Finalization of static system inside the fuselage,

I continued with the static system I started installing on Friday by finalizing the clips I had cleco'd to the longeron by riveting them in place and shaping and trimming them accordingly to retain the line and then also removed the remainder of the rubber hose to install the stock PP-Polypropylene hose as supplied against advice and my preference but to keep it simple.

I had unfortunately installed the two ports in the wrong place on the fuselage after following what I think are terribly confusing and lacking drawings and instructions combined for the RV6, 7, 8 and 9 and had them on the F-707 bulkhead instead of the F-708 as indicated in a small note on a seperate drawing. This meant drilling out both rivets (ports) then sourcing appropriate larger rivets to replace them and then measuring marking and installing in the right place one station back. This was made harder by the lack of space and having to climb into the tail when installing the system which I did next, the lines were hooked up and mounted on the bulhead with zip ties, then the ends clamped to the secured ports and the open end hooked up to the installed main line to the panel.
