| Subject: | static line routing? |
Dangit. I'm nearing the end of fuse construction (or so I tell myself), and
that's been gnawing at me for a while. I just figured a logical answer would
avail itself in the directions on the finishing kit... You would think that
such an obvious glitch would have been addressed after the first 3 rv7's
were built? Oh well.
So I just looked at the drawings. See dwg 20. There is a tooling hole of
some sort on the 705-E-L/R side doublers, which you can see looking at the
bulkead from the rear. The hole is conveniently located between two rivets
and just below the thick angle used in tip-ups on that junction. I think
I'm going to drill that hole out for the static line. I don't like the idea
of drilling through the support angle nearer the tip up latch mechanisms and
the few rivets on that angle...
I'm going to wait till after I'm done with the canopy mechanisms before I
commit. Till then, what have other tip-uppers done?

There is an article in the RVator (1st issue, 2006) detailing how and where
to rout the line through the cabin. The only hole you will need to add is
the one in the F-704 seatback bulkhead. They recommend drilling a hole
under the longeron just big enough to pass the plastic static tubing
through. No bushing is required. If I remember correctly, the other holes
are already punched in the ribs from Van's. The punched holes are the
correct size for bushings.
