Static air lines

16 Nov 2004 Static air lines

I hooked up the static lines today. It was not a big deal at all, which was no big surprise. I had to use a heat gun to warm up the tubes so that I could get them on the T barbs. My shop is now about 9c, so it’s time to fire up the Zibro-Kamin heaters.

What I’d like to know is if I should find a way to make the smaller tubes stick to the rivets in the fuselage that form the static air ports. I guess I could wrap a bit of safety wire around them, or perhaps a small zip tie. We’ll check it out tomorrow.

Note the adel clamps (cushion clamps) in there holding the wiring. Pretty robust.
