Brief Description:  Pitot and AOA Tubing Run 1

I'm installing the pitot and angle of attack (AOA) tubing before I move on to the fuselage. I bought the tubing kit from Safe Air. The product seems like great quality and I like that all the fittings and tubing are compatible and there is no wasted time and money figuring out what tubing and fittings I would need to buy without the pre-designed kit. Blue is AOA, Green is Pitot, and white is static. The kit includes two machined static ports.

Turns out Van's sells two sizes of plastic snap bushings that will fit into that pre-drilled 5/8 holes in the forward end of the wings ribs. One of the busings has the standard lip with ID=7/16. But the other one has minimum lip and an ID=1/2. These Pitot/Static/AOA tubes are OD=1/4 inch so they fit great through the 1/2 snap bushing.
