Aug 04, 2022 7 pitot static lines Category: Avionics
I spent most of my shop time today routing and installing pitot static lines. The bad news is that it was over 100* outside and not much cooler in the shop. The good news is that the nylon Pitot Static lines are a lot more bendy when it's that hot.

nothing really worth calling out specifically on this process. They are routed and plumbed. The static comes up the left longhorn from teh tailbone per Vans design, plumbs into the G5 and Alt static valve before making it's way to the GSU25. I had to fabricate a little bracket to stand it off one of the upper deck ribs.

The Pitot and AOA are routed with the antenna coax thru the tunnel, up the left side of the firewall and thru the center radio stack sub panel cutout to the AHARS. Pitot Tees off prior to AHARS and runs over to the G5.

I also had to run to Ace hardware handpick up a union to transition the alt static switch to one of the press on fittings in the Stein kit. I haven't leak checked this yet, but I will before I button everything up.

I think I've officially shoved every wire and tube thru the spar that could possibly fit, so I must be done back there.
