Preparing the pitot and static tubes:
 The two clear tubes run from under the cabin floor to the right wing are used by the pitot
tube. They should be secured along side the fuel lines on the right hand side of the
aircraft behind the cabin. Then feed them under the pilot's seat on the right hand side of
the aircraft (when looking at the motor from the rudder) and through the right hand hole
under the instrument panel as shown in the picture below.
 Leave the tube ends for the time being. They will be appropriately connected later on
when the wings and instrument panel are installed.
Fitting the Velcro for the seats
This step involves mounting the Velcro onto the seat bases where they are to hold the pre-made
seats.
 First clean the area with spirits and let it dry.
 Then mark where Velcro is to be mounted and use 3M scotch mount adhesive primer on
the surface to ensure good adhesion. Allow to dry for about 5 minutes and apply Velcro.
 There are 4 pieces under the seat base, one for the carpet near the pedals and three
pieces hold on the headrests. Finally cover the Velcro with tape to keep it clean for the
rest of the construction
