Do I need to buy a second air line from Kitfox or Do you think I can get it from Garmin or Aircraft Spruce?

This is how I routed my hoses and wires. Not sure if its the best way, I guess time will tell. I have shrink wrap around everything for extra protection where is in contact with adjacent parts.
Looks really secure. Thank you much
There are several ways of routing the pitot and AOA tubing, but I ran mine out to the wingtip and then thru the inside of the rear spar to the cabin area. Seems like a long ways, but remember pitot and AOA measures air PRESSURE only; there is no air FLOW to generate losses. I also used some lightweight automotive split plastic corrugated wire loom to protect the tubing and wiring inside the rear spar (rivets and I-beam insert).

Saturday, I had written that I was told to expect my shipment from Oratex in 2-3 weeks. This was from last Tues. (9/6) when I confirmed payment. Well I received the package this morning. Not too shabby in my book.

I'm jealous. I paid for mine on June 26th, just before they took off for Oshkosh. Still nothing but it's due today.
Ok. I called Paul at Oratex this afternoon. He thought he had sent the quote. I got it this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to find the quote marked down from the original rough estimate.

Im trying to maximize my order and shipping from Kitfox. I am looking at the Whirlwind propeller (I won't need it for awhile) but I am unsure as to what the difference is between the 70" and 75" blades. Whirlwind does not display what the difference would be. Seems all the information they provide is identical for the two except the length. How would the weight be identical? Can someone educate me as to why I might buy one or the other? Oh, of course the cost is different. $1650 vs $1825
generally, the longer the blades, the more efficient the prop is bu I think the larger prop is for the turbo rotax. call kitfox to be sure.
