Successfully completed the last week of this phase with four days of work after our return from visiting my brother in Denver.

Found Airline Hydraulics Corp in Bensalem PA. They have a lot of SMC stock with no minimum order quantities. They also show SMC factory stock and you can order those parts from Airline (with SMC MOQ). Set up an account, added parts to the cart. Some parts were only available from factory stock so I need to call on Monday to see how that affect my shipping cost and delivery date.

Installed the app for the VA-855 borescope I purchased at Oshkosh in 2022 and used it to verify I had opened up the clearance holes in the landing gear mounts. It worked much better than my old scope. Thought about whether or not it is time for the final install of the landing gear mounts and control stick mounts and decided to wait until the fuel lines are done just in case I decide it is helpful to remove the mounts again.

Set up a KiCAD document to create the pitot static schematic. I'm ready to create and add symbols and connections and photos of the actual install after I finalize parts and complete more of the installation.

Started looking at the cabin fuel lines again to try to remember where I was and what is next. Looked at pictures and instructions for TS Flightlines kits and at Van's drawings. Decided the tool I made last summer would allow me to make all the parts. If that doesn't work, I will buy the TS Flightlines kits. I made a flare and a bend using the tool I made to make sure I remembered how to use it and that I didn't need to make additional modifications. Thought about fabricating the parts starting at the valve, then between filter and pump and then pump to firewall bulkhead. Or it might make sense to leave the pump to filter line to the last since it is fairly simple and it is the easiest line to reach for test fits. And I still need to decide if I will make the parts from the valve to the tanks before or after I make the valve to tank tubing.

I need to install the bulkhead fitting soon so I started looking at the Van's drawings to see where the firewall penetrations were located. I looked at OP 21, OP 22, OP 30, OP 32, OP 33, DWG 19 and DWG 36A and compared revisions if I had more than one revision. I need to make a lot of notes and decide which holes I can make now and which ones need to wait until the engine and control installs for verification.
