Brief Description: Finished Trim Wires and Static System
When reading other builder sites, realized that it matters which end of the trim wires go forward and which go aft. Of course I had a 50/50 chance and got it wrong. Had the wires with the pins aft when they should have been forward. Makes sense since aft end of wires get lugs added in Section 11. Removed wires and installed correctly and secured. Finally figured out how to run static tubing, especially the 1/4 OD Polypropylene tube (P-tube). Can't take credit for ease of installation of P-tube onto tee fitting because I read it somewhere. Basically installed 1/4" clear plastic tube on bottom leg of tee and placed it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Boiled water, removed from heat, then placed end of P-tube into water for about 30 seconds to soften plastic. P-tube slid right over top of clear plastic tube on tee fitting without much hassle. Finished installing static tubing and coiled P-tube to bottom skin and secured (page 10-08, steps 7 and 8). Page 10-08 is complete.
NOTE Still need to get RTV sealant and seal tubes to static ports per instructions that came with Static Kit.
