I have an "old" fast build kit, and I plan to have fuel out to the tip rib
BL-171, as well as the three inboard aft bays. I also plan to install the
winglets. So, I am running the electrical conduit (black plastic) along the
nose rib area with a small spar web to block the area from the fuel similar
to the current fast build kits.

My first question concerns bonding the tube in the wing. I obviously plan to
bond it to each of the ribs, but do I need to bond (micro) the tube to the
upper skin in between the ribs? I would prefer not to do this to save some
weight.

Second, is it wise to run the pitot hard line inside the conduit, along the
side of the conduit (same holes in ribs), aft of the small additional rib
(in the fuel bay) or as directed in the manual instructions? The pitot tube
will be mounted on the winglet.

Thanks,
