Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 4:33 pm Post subject: AOA installation in wings

On the third bay in from the wingtip on the spar there's  a hole in the web.  I assume these are tooling holes.  This will  probably warrant a phone call to Vans, but, does anybody have any thoughts  (other than "don't mess with the wing spar any more than you need to!!!") about  enlarging that hole to 7/16 for a snap bushing?  I'm looking for a  route for the pressure lines on my AOA.  Aside from ordering a longer  tubing length from AFS and running the tubing to the wingtip, then the full  length of the wing through my conduit, I cannot see any easier way.  I do  already have my outboard leading edges installed, so this will be fairly  difficult anyway.

  

 My only other thought is to just run both tubes through  the hole and then gob proseal around them to keep them from  rubbing.

  

 Anybody have any other general suggestions about the  wing install part of this??? Pictures???  Using the stock location  suggested on the AFS site, does anybody know how this will affect--if any--the  install of the Duckworks leading edge landing lights in the same bay?

  

 Thanks again for any help,

 Bill

Here's my installation.  I routed the tubes out to the end then back to 

the fuselage.

Also, the ports in no way conflict with the install of the Duckworks 

lights.  They are plenty aft of the mount.

I bought parker pneumatic line to run coax in my wing.  It is 5/16 OD and it 

runs down the "J" channels in the wing.  You can push coax through with 

ease.  I ran coax through it to keep it away from powered linesin the 

conduit. You could easily pull the AOA lines through this as well.  It stays 

in place so you don't have to tack it in the channel.

Bill,

 

 

   I ran them through separate grommets in the nose ribs if I remember correctly.  I did that with these and with some other things.  Should be pictures in my Kitlog site if you want to have a look around.  I'll see if i can find specifics and send them  later.
