When the wing is mated to the fuselage, what is covered up, and what is exposed at the wing root? I'm installing a heated Dynon pitot tube, and planning to have a backup of some sort in the panel. The stock setup is to have the static pass through the rib holes in the plans out to the ADAHRS. My setup also needs to have the pitot line pass in from the wing to the fuselage but that isn't accounted for in the plans. I also want to have two 12AWG wires for the pitot heat pass from the wing to the fuselage, but these are too big to pass through the rib holes made by the plans.
If I don't want to punch new holes in the ribs, what are my options?
I will twist the red and black pitot heat wires to minimize magnetic fields so they don't affect the ADAHRS magnetometer in the Dynon ADAHRS. I was originally thinking Garmin but I think Dynon might be better for me.... I can put this twisted pair into a tygon tube and run it with the pitot tubing....
-and- If I run the pitot tubing in the channel made by the j-channel in the upper skin, and run the static in the already-made holes of the ribs, and then run the heater lines with the j-channel, will there be any problem of access to the wires or the tubing when it is mated to the fuselage? Running with the J-channel will bring it out right under the skin and I don't know if the fuselage skin butts up on the wing with enough gap to make thicountersink them for the screws coming through the plate?
Or, I can run the lines along the j-channel and then out a lightening hole at the root.
I wish the plans accounted for this..... but oh well.
Can someone post some pictures of how the wing looks at the fuselage without the fairing on, both from outside and from inside the fuselage?
