Brief Description:  Pitot and Plumbing 2

I decided how I am going to plum my pitot lines.

First off, I am running two lines out to the wing. I intend to upgrade to a Dynon AOA probe at some point and this will make the upgrade a snap.

The pitot lines will run along the front of the spar (per plans), but will continue to the next bay outboard of the inspection panel / pitot tube. The lines will then make a 180 degree turn through the lightning hole and ruturn to two bulkhead fittings mounted in the rib outboard of the inspection panel. From there, a line will run down to the pitot.

I didn't get a picture of it today, but where the pitot lines pass through the lightning hole, I riveted a bit of abgle to the outboard rib and will have two cushion clamps to hold the lines in position.
