Brief Description:  Continued wiring in wings

I installed the pitot fitting thru the wing (AN straight bulkhead fitting 4D) and cut the aluminum tube that runs from the pitot tube to the wing bay where there is an inspection plate. From there I ran green nylon/plastic flexible tubing from SafeAir to the wing root. I connected to the aluminum tubing with a brass union (compression fitting and nut on the aluminum side, delrin compression ring, brass insert, and nut on the plastic side). I plan to run the same green tubing inside the fuselage between the wing root and the airspeed indicator and use quick disconnect fittings.

To make all this work I had to reroute the pitot tubing slightly in the wing to eliminate some of the "congestion" at the root rib. There is a lot of wiring (including coax) and the pitot tubing that must be joined in this area, all without bending any of the components too sharply.
