Pitot Static and Antenna Connections

For the pitot I have used the readily available connector seen on the end of 
auto tyre pumps.  It rapidly and securely connecte to 6mm tubing and turns 
through 90 degr. within an inch - less if you recess through the fuselage.

For antenna connections, how about the matched "T" used e.g. for ethernet 
card connections  at the back of your computer. ?

However you don't need 90 deg. turns unless you have filled up the triangle 
behind the lumbar region.  A straight seatback continuing the line of the 
shoulder rest leaves this space empty.   I am over 6'2" and am perfectly 
comfortable with 2" of foam in front of this plane.  You have to accommodate 
your spar pins anyway. (see seats.zip  on the ftp site).
