Does anyone see any problem with the way I am connecting the pitot/AOA tubing from the probe to the plastic tubing? I have never seen others bend the tubing from the pitot and make the connection in a rib quite like this. It didn't occur to me until after I made a single 90-degree bend in the aluminum tubing and became concerned with the connectors flopping around with no support. I noted that I could fit the connectors through the ribs as shown, though I had to hand bend the tubes.
I think it ought to work out pretty good, but I wanted to get a consensus before I torque things down. Note: I would be planning on using a thin nut or something to hold the connectors tight against the rib.
Thanks.
