10/05/2019 - Passenger side vent line - 3h

After receiving my finish kit this morning, I had some time left to make the second vent line tubing.

Here's a shot after it all was completed. Pretty much followed the same measurements and procedure as I did for the pilot side.

The first bent where the vent line comes in came a little narrowed on the bent but still acceptable. Blowing air through still provides good air flow so I don't see a need to redo it for now.

Here's a detailed shot of the double bending. The spot is just in the lower bend.

Nice spacing betweent he side fuselage skin and the tube. Used some cardboard to ensure that spacing.

 The top side

The routing on the fuselage gusset turned out even nicer than on the pilot side.

And the exit section.

Overall happy about how it turned out.
