Static Port Installed

Fuselage

Removed the clamps holding the static port in place and attached the static hose to it. Used safety wire to hold it into place using the same technique I used when I made bassoon reeds. Starting on one side, wrap the wire completely around the tube until they come back together on the same side that you started on. Twist the wires together crossing over the starting point and tighten with pliers twisting until the wire it tight. Click off the excess leaving about 3/8 of an inch remaining.

Put in the pitot hose and connected it up to the airspeed indicator. Connected up the static hose to the airspeed indicator and the "T" but need to still figure out how to connect up the altimeter.
