Brief Description:  Wiring conduit; pitot tube; aileron pushrods

Drilled all remaining wiring conduit holes in left wing ribs, except for second and third ones from root end. Will have to figure out a way to drill 3/4" holes in these ribs. (I don't have a 3/4" Unibit yet.) Primed holes and pulled conduit through most of the holes. Applied Permatex Super Blue RTV to junction of conduit and three outboard ribs.

Filed backing plate and washer plate to fit pitot mounting bracket. Sanded and polished edges of both plates. Fabricated angle mount out of leftover angle stock from empennage. Marked centerlines of flanges, and clamped angle mount to rib. Hand-bent backing plate slightly to match curve of skin/rib surface.

Roughed, primed and painted both W-816 (large) aileron pushrods.
