Does anyone remember what they did? Also is there a reason not to use ordinary hardware store poly tube flared to an AN fitting for the pitot line? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:45:51 PM PST US From: r miller Subject: RV4-List: pitot line --> RV4-List message posted by: r miller I have an old tank style project (baffle flanges face forward are 5/8 and are pop riveted to skin) I don't think there is enough room to make the offset from the LE rib to behind the tank baffle.

I have the old style tank also. I wouldn't want to put vinyl tubing in there,since if it develpoed a leak you would have to remove the tank to replace it. I wanted the permanent aluminum line in there. My opinion only. Bob Olds RV-4 , N1191X A&P , EAA Tech. Counselor Charleston,Arkansas Real Aviators Fly Taildraggers
