Pitot tubing

Posted on by Neal

Today I match drilled the pitot tube brace to the rib, and then riveted it in place on the rib. Now it’s ready for the bottom skin install. Then I installed an adel clamp to hold the pitot lines near where they will connect to the pitot tube, and torqued the bolt.

Match drilling and riveting the pitot tube support angle. It’s behind behind the plate, where the left 3 clecos are placed. 4 rivets join the angle to the rib
