Hey all-
This is a way down the road for me, but I'm getting ready to punch the 1" hole in the wing root area of the fuselage for future fuel line routing.
While I was looking at the print and how everything fits together, I discovered that the fuel line comes through the sidewall a couple of inches fwd and then makes a 90* bend aft where it ends up under the kick panels and then makes its way laterally to the selector valve.
This is all hidden under the gear weldments on a 7A, but everything I've been able to find in the plans or online seems to indicate that it's just out there in the breeze on the taildragger.
Has anyone either found an alternate routing (like maybe with the fuselage penetration further aft) or fabbed up a panel to cover this up?
