Brief Description:  Routed AOA differential pressure tubes

As you can see from the pictures, I'm seriously impressed with the self-fusing silicone tape. I used it throughout the AOA tube installation to support the small tubes and provide resistance to abrasion. In the unlikely event that they might ever come loose or deteriorate, I have lightly wrapped each support location with a zip tie. On the port end, I gave the green tube (bottom port) good support on both ends, and used it to anchor the blue tube (upper port) in mid-air inside the wing spar lightening hole. I taped some card stock to the main spar to represent the location of the upper port when the leading edge skin is riveted. I was then able to fix all my lengths and confirm the routing. Everything looks really good, so I'm ready to move on.
