Hi all,
I was thinking of running my additional pitot tubes from out near the right wing inspection port.
Because of the location of the fuel tanks, I need to run the pitot tubes (2) aft of the spar.
There are some lightening holes within the ribs that come all the way into the cabin near the pushrod.
Choice A): simply run the pitot tubes near the push rods.
Choice B): extend 1/2" inside diameter PCV through the lightening holes to run the pitot tubes and possible wires later) without fear that simply touching the rib inside edge will cut them. The rib insides are razor sharp.
The added weight would be approximately 6 oz, and make for a heavier right wing by the 6-8 oz.
If that could be an issue I could add the exact weight to the left wing.
Question: Is there a better way?
Am I nuts for this idea?
