Brief Description: Started installing pitot line in left wing.
I had bought the SafeAir1 pitot and static system tubing kit since I had the Dynon heated pitot with angle-of-attack (AOA). I figured it would be much easier working with poly-tubing than aluminum tubing. The kit seems to be very complete with all the fittings required. Of course it cost extra while the aluminum tubing comes with Van's kit. Oh well, its only money (as all my investments and retirement have tanked)!
It was easy to route the tubing through the wing in the rib bushing holes, but I didn't cut it off because I've got to decide how to route the tubes either around the bell crank or under it to get to the next bay. I positioned the pitot in the bay outboard the bell crank bay. The question is how to hold the tubing in place to not have chafing from the bell crank? Do I drill a hole into the spar web to hold a tube fastener or use proseal or some other adhesive fastener? It must stay put and not allow the tubing to interfere with the bell crank. I'll sleep on it awhile as I check the internet for some adhesive type tube holder so I won't have to drill the spar web, and to see what other builders have done.
