Brief Description:  Remove Wing 8: Re-route pitot and AOA lines

Another fix from the wing mating it the place where the pitot and AOA tubes exit the wing. Turns out the tooling hole that I had enlarged for the pitot and AOA tubing runs smack into the fuselage near the wing spars and there cannot be a penetration for them there. In fact the drawings show a penetration further aft for the pitot and AOA tubing. So I located this postion and made a 5/8 hole for the plastic bushing. Then I had to make new holes on two more (three total) ribs in order to get the tubs routed.

Now I should be able to exit the wing with these tubs and make some kind of connection and entry into the fuselage. I'm not sure yet if I'll make this a continuous run or a connector. I'm leaning towards a connector so I can finish the fuselage pitot and AOA routing without the wing being attached. But not if a connector is going to leak.
