I’m working on the LSA fuel lines now and have a question about routing in the wing root area. I notice most of the photos show planes routing both the front and rear tank line inboard of the fuselage cage rather than outboard. that is what is shown in several BearTracks articles. It seems preferable to go outboard if I have clearance, as it keeps the lines out of the cabin. Since the LSA doesn’t have flaps, I think I have plenty of clearance to run the rear line up the window frame then outboard of the fuselage tubing into the space between the wing root and the fuselage. In the front, i’m not sure yet, as I don’t have the windshield in place yet to check that clearance.
So my question is to those who considered or decided to route your lines outboard - what was your thinking and what challenges did you face? One possible challenge looks like making two 90 degree turns in a small space. another could be possible damage during wing install/ removal.
Very interested in others’ thought process.
Thanks
