If you check out the positioning by way of the manual, you do not line
the two ports up vertically.  What you do is keep them in line tip to
trail but off set tip to root.  Does that make sense.  This puts the
ports at the same distance from the leading edge but not the same
distance from the wing tip.  Mine is off set about 2" with the lower port
closer to the root.  My wing is a foam wing and I cut a 6" hole through
the bottom skin and made a flange to put inside to reattach the cover
when I finished the installation.  I then ran my urethane lines out to
the tip and ran them back through the conduit I used for the wing wiring.
 BTW, proprietary Software has a disconnect for their tubes.  I am
getting mine next week.  I forgot to mention it to Jim at PS to include
it with the kit.   I also sent Jim the way we "operate" our Europa a/c. 
Since we mono wheel drivers have no control for separating flap from gear
extensions and the tri gear drivers only have flaps to operate, I've
asked Jim to help us on our setups to the CPU in the unit.  I will keep
you up dated.
        Well, I'm doing the final bits to proceed with painting.  Which I
should have done for Sun-N-Fun.  I'll be bringing my a/c to the Europa
dinner as one of at least four others.  It will give us all a chance to
see the many varietys we are doing.
