Brief Description:  Redid Pitot Tubing/Riveting Outboard Top Left Skin

Inserted second bulkhead fitting in rib 9 for tubing for pitot line. Replaced plastic tubing from pitot tube because the pitot tube is heated. The pitot tube could possibly melt the plastic. Routed aluminum tube from pitot tube to bulkhead fitting. Placed plastic tubing from fitting to plastic fitting for AOA line. The upper fitting is the pitot line and the lower fitting is the static/Dynon AOA line.

Practiced riveting w/Bob. Riveted remaining rivets betw/ribs 6-7 along main spar. Clecoed top outboard skin to inboard skin & rib 7. Bob used bucking bar & I used rivet gun to rivet first few rivets along rib 7. We dinged the skin twice, so we switched positions. We finished riveting the skins to rib 7 & each other, except for one more. Knocked out most of the dings.
