My buddy Andre stopped by today and prepped the aft top skin for riveting. We didn’t have time to get it riveted, but it’s clecoed on and ready to go for next time.
While he was working on that, I moved the tee in the static system up near the top of the bulkhead, right next to where one of the stringers will be installed. Since I decided to mount my ADAHRS from the top rib between F-706 and F-707, I decided it would be simpler to run the static tubing along that top stringer and directly into the back of the ADAHRS. This has the advantage that the static ports are the lowest portion of this part of the static system, so in theory it should allow water to drain out of the system and not make its way into any of the instruments.
I also worked on the forward half of the center cover. I’ve enlarged the hole at the back half for the fuel line to drop through. I’ll still need to enlarge it a little more to ensure it can never come in contact with the fuel line and abrade it.
