I pulled this link from Doug Reeves site (which I'm sure all of you watch already) It apears to answer most all of the questions that we all had while doing this task recently. Questions like, why are some flaps flush and others not, how much sweep is acceptable, etc etc... http://www.metronet.com/~dreeves/pdf/WINGINCIDENCEDRILLINGSIMPLIFIED.pdf In classic fashion, I just finished drilling mine last week and now the better instructions come out! - Andy Karmy RV9A Seattle WA Inspection this weekend! ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:26:35 PM PST US From: "Richard E. Tasker" Subject: RV9-List: Heated Pitot-Static tube --> RV9-List message posted by: "Richard E. Tasker" I want to put a heated pitot-static tube on my RV-9 rather than the standard unheated one that Van's calls out (that we fabricate) for that "just in case" time... While I don't want to "cheap out" on a part such as this, the best deal I have been able to find is $395 from Gretzaero (plus the mounting kit). I don't mind paying a fair price for an aircraft part, even if it seems high, but this part seems too simple to cost so much. Am I missing something or has anyone found a more reasonably priced heated pitot-static tube anywhere? If this is what is available I will purchase one, but even for an aircraft part it seems a tad high. Dick Tasker, 90573 Wings
