How would you replace the control box and/or pitot tube with this setup? It seems that it would be very difficult to do so through the inspection hole.
I am quite literally at this phase of the build and was in the process of cleco-ing the skins on. I added the panel reinforcement plate on before I put the skin in place just to make it easier. When I checked today the rivets are in place and well clear of any obstruction. The wing I’m on is the right wing. I expect to have the left wing on the bench and start working on it this week. I’ll report back if I find the left wing being any different. But from what I can tell, this issue has been resolved (kit #277).
You should learn how to add chapters to your video with explanations in order for builders to quickly reference a segment of interest. You're going over so much information that a lot of the good pointers gets lost.

Tip: do not use the airframe for any return ground. It will induce electrical issues later on.
What do you do for slack in the tubing if you have to replace the pitot assembly? Isn’t it typically pulled down to work on?
2:02 Hi Evan, do you know if TAF has remedied this situation or is this workaround still required?

It's been fixed, they shortened the bracket to remove the interference.
