Nov 02, 2020 1 Installed pitot tube. Trying to figure out routing Category: Propeller
I screwed the screw into the block to "tap" then backed it out and installed the pitot tube, lined up the marks, and screwed it down."

Then I cut the pitot line to length, followed by the flexible 1 inch tube that helps it connect to the pitot tube. Slid all that on and safety wired both in place, which seems a little "rinky dink" to me.

Routing the line to the firewall has me flummoxed as the plans appear to show two routes.

Scott McDaniel on Facebook says;

"The two figures show the exact same routing. The left one is a view looking directly down from above the engine, and the right one is looking at about a 45�ngle from the left side and behind. This makes the path look different but it's only because of the different views. The dashed portion of the line means hidden, which means it's passing underneath the object that is in the area of the dash. The left (top view) shows it passing beneath the induction plenum on the engine and aligning directly behind the pitot tube."

I'm just not seeing it.
