Pitot Line

[Mark Browning]

Hi Guys
I have been working on the cabin systems this week and completed the static line.
Has any one got any advice about routing the pitot line through the fuse,
or actual pictures

I used a Hayco bushings to route my static line from the rear of my RV-6A to the back of the instrument panel. I have pitot line coming off the left wing as show on the RV-6A plans coming into the airplane into the area of the left main gear weldment. I will be able to route it back and up the left side of the cockpit just behind the instrument panel. I just ordered an angle of attack kit to go with my Dyon 10A. Therefore I will need to mount a second pitot line on the left wing running behine the left fuel tank to the cockpit. If it isn't to late you may want to consider using the largest Hayco busings when you go through the left post under the roll bar on RV-6, 7, or 9's. You will find that it can be a good place to place wires for navigation lights etc however if you are building a 7 or a newer 9 that may be all different.

Hi Bob
Thanks for your information; I know there are some differences between the 6 & 7. Although I only have experience with building the 7
Having only posted this question a couple of days ago I have now got some good ideas on how I think I want to do this.
My main idea is to run it through the centre section through the existing bushes Into the forward section below the fuel valve.
I have two conduits one for the wiring loom and second for the coaxes
My intention is to run the pitot with the coax inside the conduit and up the aft face of the firewall and then through bushes in the sub panel through to the ASI
I’m in no hurry to do this so I may sleep on it for a while.
