Happy New Year All,
I'm planning to put the pitot tube on my upper wing to get it out of harms way then run down through the I-strut with a 1/4" 4130 tube. Has anyone else used a setup lke this? The tubing will have to pierce the fabric on both the upper and lower wings. What kind of reinforcement is used for the fabric in these locations? What tubing and fittings are normally used to get back to the A/S indicator? Did you just put a hole in the leading edge for the pitot tube or install a larger plate to allow later access? Thanks for any ideas or pictures.
