After curing, I filled the indentation with fiberglass, and after curing that, I finished it with Superfill. Here is a hint: when you install the Gretz mount, DO NOT rivet it to the wing skin until after riveting on the skin. Also, my Dynon did not go deep enough into the Gretz to get sufficient edge clearance for the screws that hold on the Dynon. I had to do some hand filing to get the two to mate. Leland Cleaning up the wiring "As I built the wings I diligently followed Van's directions and drilled the hole for the pitot tube when they called for it. Now, before I close up the wings I realized I would like to install the Dynon EFIS unit along with their pitot tube so I can also have an AOA indicator. The problem is that the bracket I bought to hold the pitot tube doesn't cover the hole I have already drilled for the Van's tube. What do you suggest I do? A) Leave the hole open? B) Drill out the two adjacent rivets and put a small plate behind the spar web flange to cover the hole and put move the Pitot tube down? C) Return the Dynon pitot tube, due w/o the AOA, and just use the Dynon EFIS with the Van's pitot?" ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:28:21 PM PST US rv7-list@matronics.com, rv10-list@matronics.com, rv8-list@matronics.com, rv3-list@matronics.com, rv4-list@matronics.com From: Richard Scott Subject: RV9-List: Van's Homecoming-- Where to eat 1.70 SUSPICIOUS_RECIPS Similar addresses in recipient list --> RV9-List message posted by: Richard Scott Scrumptous breakfast both Saturday & Sunday will be served right at Van's--pancakes, eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, coffee & orange juice.
