Brief Description:  Wing root skin, pitot/static system

Started working on left wing root top skin It is all factory pre drilled. One thing; there is a row of pilot holes across skin about half way back. I assume a L angle goes there but it is not shown in either the drawings or photo manual. Made a L angle. Added some flutes to the L, otherwise the skin bubbles.

Did the right wing root top skin as above. Removed the L angles and deburred. Riveted both L angels with A4 rivets. Clecoed both skins back into place Trimmed pitot/static lines at wing root to make connection. Reviewed HomeBuilt video on pitot/static test.

Wanted to get the pitot/static system in prior to riveting the top root skin. Using Homebuilder Help tip for testing. System will not hold pressure. Trouble shooting. Found a couple of problems so far and leak slowed but still not holding.

Continued trouble shooting pitot system. Finally found that the test eqipment connection to pitot was leaking. Doubled up on clamps and test passed (loss 7 kts in one minute, well within specs). Riveted root top skins into place..
