I laid out and have ready for installation the Gretz pitot mast at the regular pitot mast location on the bottom left wing. Gotta say I'm pretty happy with what I did; might put up pictures if interested.
I fabricated an angle to tie the doubler plate to the adjacent rib. I was planning to fasten the angle to the rib using 4 AN470AD3-4 that I had around. But they seem awfully small.
Can anyone give me advice on whether that is sufficient, or should I move up to a AN470AD4-4; The spacing along the angle length is about one inch, and I have about 3/8 edge distance for the holes. I think that the rib will not be weakened in the process.
I think yes but figured I'd share an opportunity to learn....
