NB and Plumbing

12/17/11 Whew! What a day! First, I removed the peel ply from the last layup that secured the NB in place.

Next, we plumbed the static and pitot tubes. The pitot tube was called to go in such a way that it would actually touch the top of my foot when I did a test sit, so we used a better way. The tips section of the old CP newsletters suggest attaching it to the left fuselage side, which is what we decided was best. It is held sown by 2 narrow strips of BID.

Then, we slurried on oversized chunks of urethane. These will later be carved into that beautiful nose, but right now it looks like crap.

 Finally, before we called it a day we were able to lay down 2 piles BID on the underside of the NB. This is just one side and the middle section aft of the SC will be glassed tomorrow.
