Brief Description:  Static line, smoke oil line

Today I began by installing the static line from the aft fuselage up to the instrument panel area, just to check which bulkheads will need holes, and where. Running it up under the left longeron seems to be the best routing. I had to trim a small notch out of the flap actuator cover, but other than that, the installation appears like it will be straightforward. I won't actually install the static line, the hole grommets, or the Adel clamps until after the canopy rails are fitted.

Next, I ran the smoke oil line from the aft baggage compartment up to the firewall, drilling several 5/8" holes through the bulkheads and installing snap bushings. I'll secure it along its length with Adel clamps later.
