The latest revision of the plans, 38iS/U-18 figure 3, shows the 1st straight section, with the flared fitting, as 15 1/2 "...
NO way! Won't fit in my plane at all. I tried re-bending by changing that length to 11 1/4 " ,
but ended up tossing that piece of spaghetti. Luckily, I have enough tube for one more attempt.
Surely someone else has noticed this. I was not able to search and find any mention of this error in the KAI's.
Does anyone have a good measurement for this? My next attempt will be 10 3/4 ".
(Yeah, I'm frustrated...sorry)
Also, if you place the tube as depicted, it interferes with the ELT antennae.
I'll probably try flipping the adel clamp around to point to the left instead of the right. It's a tight space.
