Tue Sep 9 19:59:01 2008 - Torqued all the nuts and bolts to spec and applied "torque seal" as a reminder that they had been done. I also ran two extra "pitot tubing runs". One for the AoA tubes (together they fit snuggly into a 1/4" ID snap bushing), and the second one as a "just in case"/"reserved for future use and/or expansion". Much easier to do this now. I am a little concerned about the tubing rubbing against aileron bracket, however. I'll have to see what others have done in this area. On the fuselage, I've a 1/2" ID snap busing for the pitot tube/AoA tubing. Electrical and coax will pass in the conduit. Which reminds me. I upgraded my conduit from 5/8" to 3/4". I found that if I stretched the 3/4" stuff just right, it would pass through the 5/8" holes in the ribs. Benefits are that the ribs then engage the conduit keeping it in in place and I've got full use of the 5/8" ID for more cables.
