I have the probes going all the way from the bottom at the root to the
top at the tip. I made a U shaped tunnel that went through the bellcrank
area with a flange each side on top that would allow a reasonable
glueing area to the top skin to avoid leaks (I have capstrips on ribs
also). This also acts as the vent between inner and outer tank sections.
Don't exactly remember how I made a mould for this. I think from memory
I used their nylon supports to form a tube around the probe, some
plywood sides, piece of ply across the tops of the ribs (already matched
to top skin), covered it all with duct tape, some release agent and laid
it up with three or four BID. Make sure it projects into the tanks both
sides so that you can use 2 BID to attach it on the tank side as well as
the bellcrank side of the ribs. Need to make it all miss the bellcranks
and aileron pushrods. It does work.
