Parachute
Received my new (to me) parachute. It's a Strong 303. I'll use it during Phase 1 testing and decide if I want to keep it or pass it on to the next RV builder.
Pitot and AOA
I finished running the SafeAir 1 pitot and angle of attack tubing in the fuselage. The kit and connectors made it really easy.
The ends of the plastic tubing have to be cut perfectly flush and without deforming it. Here's a nifty way I found to do it. The cutter can be picked up at Radio Shack or maybe Home Depot. I used it for telephone and data cable. It's only a few bucks. Just lower one of the cutters and a few spins makes a perfect cut.
