Brief Description:  Pitot static and Transponder antenna install

I purchased a few items from Safeair1 for the pitot static system a while back. Now that interior and exterior is finished, I want to put away the epoxy and begin engine and avionics work. This meant one more trip around the fuselage to finish up epoxy work. First, This meant installing the static vent and necessary fittings that I won't want to take a wrench to after they are bonded into the fuselage. So while the vent was setting up in a bed of flox, I assembled the fittings and placed them in position for cure. Slightly facing up so that water will drain out. The lines will also get a raised loop to keep water from entering the system while parked nose down.
Second on the list was bonding the transponder to the inside of the outer strake bulkhead with flox. I also drilled 2, 1/4" holes facing forward; 1 for the transponder rg400 and 1 for the com antenna. In fact I may drill 1 more small one for the nav lights and cover that Large hole in the side of the spar. I don't like the thought of water getting in there.
