Brief Description:  Installed static ports, tubing and clamps

Removed F-674 top skin and gained access to work easily. Glad I didn't rivet that skin yet. Beginning to think that will be the last task before 1st flight. Lots to do in the back-end.

Took longer than expected, customized brackets, fitting, etc. Still need to rivet the ports to the side skins. Requires a little care to avoid banging up the static port. Thinking of putting a little dab of 'sealant' on the port to skin surface, too.

Note that the static ports are mounted in a way that any water infiltration would drain down and out. The Adel clamps should keep tubing from contact or wear. The T-fitting on the left side 'could have been' a little farther above the static port (the slight angle could be diminished).

Ran the forward end behind the subpanel but left a T-fitting hanging loosely. Will have to wait for the panel components to go further.

Like the SafeAir1 static system ...
