Install Pitot Mast Mount ( 5 hrs )
Located the Pitot Tube Mounting Bracket in LH Wing. I determined best location was 1 bay outboard of Access Bay just past Bellcrank bay. This was clear of tie down location, and would be much easier for final assembly and maintenance later, since beyond Pushrod. Fabricated a 4"x3" gusset from spare .032" aluminum sheet. Supports rear of Mounting Bracket against Rib. Satisfying to create from scratch. Ready to proceed to install Bottom Skins.
