Has anyone installed the factory supplied pitot/static by accessing the
internals
of the wing by entering the wing through the aileron closeout and bonding (say)
a 4 aluminium disc with Araldite 420 to the inside of the wing skin in the
appropriate location? This is instead of cutting the 45mm hole through the wing
and then taking off another 40mm of paint around this hole to bond the ply
fixing disc in place.
As the position of the pitot/static under the wing is only 4 forward of the
aileron
closeout it seems a pity to damage the finish to the wing if it possible
to carry out the work as suggested above.
The cut out in the aileron close out can be repaired in a similar way to Mod 74
ie. the foam replaced and 3 plies of bid, lapping the first ply over the skin
by 80mm(3 1/4), the second by 15mm(5/8) less than the first, and the third
25mm(1)
greater than the first.
Let me know if you think I'm mad.
Thanks
