Braided fuel lines.

Any body have pictures of the fuel line routing using the braided lines, or solid metal lines. from the wing root (where it comes into the fuselage) to the header? I specifically need to where the lines or bulkhead fittings enter the fuselage and how close the pitot static lines and electrical need to be.See More

youtube videos

Be Careful what you post on youtube, flying wise, on youtuber I watch P1D driver got reported to the FAA by a "student pilot" because he thought of what he thought was a safety violation, FAA called him and basically said the report was bs and the kid was mad due to being offended by the response he got when he asked the question on the youtube channel. P1D driver said it becoming more common that someone reports a pilot to FAA due to a youtube video. Some one also reported Trent Palmer.See More

Thank you Keith.  Exactly what I was looking for!  I don't know why I was not finding this in my search.  I am still learning how to navigate this site.

Now to order a new rod.

From looking at your progress I think you can possibly give me some insight.  The "documentation" leaves a lot to be desired.  I tried to contact Zenith and did not get a response.  

I am installing the elevator actuator and I am finding some issues that concern me.  I'll see if I can include pictures.  I installed according to the drawings and I have full deflection in the trim tab.  Doesn't look right, especially after seeing yours.  Let me know what you think.

The drawing shows 122MM center to center on the clevis.  I cut the rod to accommodate.
