 Bill -
 
 As always - you do good work!! Thanks for the great pictures.
 
 A couple of questions:
 
 1. In your last picture, what is the blue tubing and "T" fitting? Looks like
there is another one on the left side (next to the last picture).
 
 2. Just below your parking brake on the right side there is a prepreg
 gusset/support. There is also one on the left side. What are these for?
 Sidepanel support?
 
 3.  How are you getting the secon battery power up front? Sounds like you
 are doing a single alternator/dual battery?
 
 4. BTW, we installed the Glasair defrost/heater valve like yours. It  really
is a better idea than the one Lancair uses and plumbs. Much  simpler. Did you
find a way to duct the hot bleed air down to the bottom  of the cowl from the
firewall side of the valve when the heat/defrost are  off?
 
 Your hatrack reinforcing flange looks great. We installed a floor in the
 baggage compartment so will probably not use the fiber glass conduit idea.
 
 Best.
