I have the bag with the static tubing, connector (two POP rivets??) but WHERE do I find anything about the installation. Am I missing something? I've gone thru the book about a half dozen times and other than installation in the wing, I find nothing regarding the system within the fuselage :-( I have my finish kit on order. Is there going to be something in the drawings that come with it? Could anyone point me to a page # or drawing? Thanx in advance... please save my sanity, I am feeling like a dunce (not the first time and probably not the last) Patty Bottjen Remsen, IA ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:16:50 PM PST US From: "Roger Ping" Subject: RE: RV9-List: Re: torque wrench calibration --> RV9-List message posted by: "Roger Ping" You are correct to add the 3 ft lbs to your torque.

Measured as high as 3 ft. lbs. The spec called for 17 ft. lbs (I don't remember the inch lb. numbers), so without adding the friction drag amount I would only have gotten 14 ft. lbs, short of the spec by 17%.
