My experience on the heated pitot/static tube: On my RV-6 I got
significant static errors using the static ports on the heated pitot static tube.
I eneded up abandoning the static line from the pitot/static tube, and using
the static port location on the fuselage as depicted on the plans. This cut
my static system error by 50% or more (as I recall... it's been a while).
Wiring tube: I used the corrugated black tube that Van sells in my wings.
It's light. I shot a string down the tube using compressed air, so that I can
pull wires thru in the future, if I need to.
TTFN
