Wings to go on shortly. Have never been impressed with the Pretzel Logic of the aluminum lines from the side of the fuselage thru the landing gear weldement to the fuel valve. I wonder if anyone has used flex lines for this application, Thanks G

I'm not familiar with the RV specifically, but used many bulkhead fittings on my Lancair, including in the lines from my wing tanks to the selector valve. It was just impossible to fabricate the ~60" aluminum tubing run with bends and get it into place; It had to be fabricated in two pieces. I had heard that many Lancair builders chose to use long flexhoses rather than aluminum tubing to connect their wing tanks to the selector valve but I thought that was a foolish idea and chose to use a right-angle bulkhead fitting. In retrospect, though, the flexhose guys may have been the smart ones. Bear with me, here.Put a straight bulkhead fitting...
