Hello,
I see Van's suggested routing for a 2" scat tube for back seat heat. A few questions:
(1) Anyone have any experience on how this works (is it worth it?) (2)
How do you cut the holes through the F-404 webs and the spar webs that are sandwiched
in between the two F-404 webs? The only thing I can think of is an adjustable
fly-cutter, but I was wondering if you'd have enough access (clearance)
with all of the other pieces in place. Right now I have the forward fuselage
pieces (frame) riveted together without the skins on yet, but I can't install
the wings due to limited space. So i t looks to me like you have to wait
until the end to do this?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I did this after the wings were attached to run a 1 3/4 inch scat tube from
the bottom of the right wing for front and back fresh air, not for heat.
(live in Southern California) I used a 90 deg attachment to my electric
drill, and a 1 3/4 inch metal hole saw I bought at Sears. Then used my
Dremel tool to polish it out. Crude but worked well. Just be hyper careful
not to hit any of the Spar web spredders!
