Brief Description:  Fuselage - hole in side skin for wing wires.

So, seems to have a small discrepancy in the plans concerning the holes in the end 715seat ribs for the pitot tube. Drawing 22 has you but a 5/8” hole in the 715 rib on the left side only. Drawing 28 has you enlarge a tooling hole on the side skin also for the pitot tube. The problem is they are about an inch apart. So witch is it. Well, I already had the hole in the rib so I matched it up to the skin. I’ll put a rivet in the tooling hole of the skin.

While I was putting a hole in the side skin I also thought about what other holes I should be adding for wing wire runs. I finally decided to not add any additional holes on either side. I’ll deal with wind wires later. Maybe a Adel Clamp so wires will enter the large existing hole.
