Home -> Vans Air Force topic: Pitot tubing

Author: "Olivier Le Carbonnier" <olcdlm@...> Time: Tue Dec 7, 2004 10:26 am PST Link



I don't find how plumbing Pitot line at wing root ?

How did you plumb Pitot pressure line between wing and fuselage ?

For installing AOA from http://www.angle-of-attack.com: is it important if
the AOA probe and Pitot line are not on the same wing:
AOA on right wing, Pitot on left wing ?

I have the Dynon Pitot too. Could we have 2 Pitot ? one for the Dynon, the
second for IAS ?
A friend (RV6 buider in USA), said me that the EIS take pressure directly
from the engine compartiment and give a good IAS...

thank's for help.

Olivier-

If you are plumbing the pitot and angle-of-attack for the Dynon pitot system, both lines go directly into the Dynon Pitot tube. So, plumb the lines together out into the wing, where they will attach together to the tube.

You may want to then coil up the excess tubing at the wing root, and wait till you attach the wings permanently, before snaking them through the cockpit to your instruments. Or, alternatively, install a fitting at the wing root, so you can split the line there, and make the final atachment at the root before you fly.

If you buy the pitot/static/AOA tubing kits from Safe-Air 1 (www.safeair1.com) all the grommets, fittings, etc, are included in their kit, including color-coded hoses so you don't confuse static, pitot, and AOA.
