Many of us have opted to use very light weight sprinkler PVC to run wiring
and pitot tubing or stall warning tubing through the wing. I used 3/4" and
found it to be just barely adequate in size. I know some have used 1". It runs
probably the same place as you ran your tubing and grommets. Also, many do not
use the tubing included in the kit for either the pitot tube, or stall warner
kit if you happened to order it (recommended). It was suggested to me to use
Versatube (Aircraft Spruce) aluminum tubing. If the flexible tubing somehow
deteriorates over time, or fails by some other method, how would you repair or
replace it? The likelihood of something happening to the Versatube is very very
slim.
