Dec 15, 2020 3.6 Aileron Actuator Category: Wings
I cut, primed and installed ends on the pushrods and am about 1/2 through S23. I expect to finish it tomorrow and then get the pitot tube mounted. I'll also run the wires once I know if there is clearance for the pitot. I'm thinking to install it in the original Van's location. I would think inboard is better than outboard for tie down clearance and it's the design location, so I'd think aerodynamics are good for the pitot too. I see other folks mount outboard, but it looks like it would put the pitot in the way of the tie down. Of course, going inboard could cause conflict with the aileron actuator rods, but I'll figure it out. While I wait for the pitot tube to arrive, I will run wires and mount the wing tip. I'll need to cleco the skin in place for this, but will hold off on riveting it until I'm done with the wing.

I reinstalled the fuel tank after a successful leak test.
