Don I have built access panels into the outer wings so that I'm able to = get at all fuel, pitot and static lines after the outer wings have been installed. They are on the bottom of the outer wing right at the WAF = area of both front and rear spars. A wooden bulkhead was installed between the = fuel tank and first rib and all connections will be mounted there. I have = found hydraulic type quick disconnects at Princess Auto of all places that are = the perfect size for fuel pickup and return lines and the price was less = than $10 each. When disconnection is needed the flexible braided stainless = hose is snapped free from both inner and outer wing areas and also act as = check valves when disconnected. The pitot and static systems are simply compression fittings likewise mounted to the bulkhead. All outer wing = wiring is done using those plug in locking trailer plugs which are a smaller version of those used in tractor trailers. Makes for a nice and neat installation and easy to check that everything is where it should be = during inspections. The whole setup for both wings weighs in at under 2 pound addition to aircraft empty weight. Doug Rupert
