 On the bottom side of the right wing you'll find a small indent in the surface which
indicates the location for the pitot tubes.
 Dremel a slot to fit the base of the pitot tubes and check it for good fit. Then, lining up
the base with the leading edge of the wing at 90 degrees, mark the hole positions and
drill 2.5 mm holes and then open them up to 5 mm.
 Find the pitot and static lines inside the wing and, using a small wire with a hook, pull
them through the hole to the surface.
 Insert 4 nutserts into place and hold them with epoxy. Open up the tie down holes to
accept the plastic covers if required.
 Lastly, find the indent in wing between the airbrakes and the wingtip. Drill a 11mm hole
for the tie-down ring. Clean up hole and fit with the stopper provided. Place tape over
the stopper afterwards to prevent dust from getting inside.
