We are planning to install a heated pitot static. The mast is 2 inches tall compared to the Europa supplied pitot which is 4.5 inches. Will mounting the pitot closer to the wing present any problems?

Thanks

Hi Jim,

The sensors do best far from the disturbed airflow of wings or fuse.
4 inches is marginal, two inches and change is probably trouble.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Jim,
Were you having trouble with the single pitot head on your wings readings? Seemed OK when we flew, why not just follow suit. We use the Gretz mount here and that puts the heated Angus type tube about 5.5 inches below which is out of the turbulent layer and if placed near the trailing edge spar is nearly perfectly equal to the flow to the flight path. If you place the tube at two inches I'm afraid that turbulence may give you some poor readings.

George Reed has the only Dynon Tube I've installed placed per their instructions within 10 inches of the leading edge if memory serves. As you know the Dynon also has a "AOA" input and if I recall it was required to be at least 6 inches below the wing which gave good A/S at cruise, adequate low speed down to 70 but kind of fell off too slow starting at 60 Knots. However the current XS and MG wing positions using any tube seem to work well averaging within about 3 knots at low speed and dead on at cruise.

Regards,
Bud

I am just a lurker on this site, but have considerable experience on location of pitot/ vanes etc below the wing .
I manufacturer the RiteAngle series of AOA's, and vane location is extremely important to get a good clean airflow, which also would indicate good clean stable air into the pitot tube. My aerodynamic engineer with many years of experience told me to never locate a vane less than 4 inches from an airfoil. Where we are using a vane we strive to be 13% of the chord below the wing, which has worked on well over 100 different makes and models of aircraft with no problem. The only problems were with those who placed the vane to close to the airflow where the airflow was still "following the curve" of the airfoil~~I can think of two people who tried to out guess years of experimenting and experience. I agree 100% that 4" is marginal, especially where the vane is located on the Europa ( on those I've flown anyway.)  Another factor is the actual airfoil being used and the size of the pitot tube. During tests for certification of one LSA our system was within 1 mph from stall to Vne of the aircraft, I feel primairly due to using a larger diameter pitot tube as the AOA didn't restrict the airflow into the tube, also the shape of the end of the pitot makes a difference. Put it far enough below the wing & use a proven pitot tube.
A different subject the Static source is as important as the Pitot. Follow Europa's instructions.

Hi Bud (or anyone else who has an answer),

I read your post while looking for info on the Dynon AoA. I was thinking of installing this AoA, but their probe has just 2 holes - pitot and AoA - I'd then have to find another source for the static air - can you recall what George Reed did for static?

Thanks in advance.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Paul,
I always put the standard pitot / static on my aircraft. It hooks to the normal A/S and Altimeter. The Dynon probe is added to the other wing normally and feeds the Dynon pitot/aoa. I make a 5 inch access hole and build in a flange then mount the probe and its Gretz mount to the wing about 10 inches back from the leading edge as that is what Dynon recommends I believe for its AOA function. Should icing be a consideration, I mount a cockpit static valve to use the cockpit air which is accurate to about 2 knots and 50 feet at all speeds and altitudes to 10,000 ft.

Do not mount the Dynon where the standard pitot is.

Regards,
Bud

Thanks Bud, useful info.

My wings are closed ... do you think the Dynon probe could be retro-fitted to the stbd wing - or indeed have you ever done that?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Paul-

I mounted my Dynon on the same wing as the Europa probe.  It mounts a little more toward the leading edge as I recall. I think I mounted mine just behind the spar. If you have closed your wings, you would need to put a hole in your skin to mount it, and do as Bud said and use the Gretz mount. I backed my Gretz mount with 1/16 plywood and BID. I put them in the same wing to avoid putting a run of irrigation tubing in the other wing also. The four tubes share a length of tubing to the wing root. I actually had to change the tubing and was able to get to it through the inspection port and do it in only an hour or so. I used a "T" connector to use the Europa static port for the Dynon also. Works fine. I have photos of it all if you need them.

Hi All,
I'm thinking about adding Angle of Attack function to my Dynon D10a unit. This requires the Dynon aoa pitot to be installed on my completed wing. I think that could be done easily by mounting the pitot on the bellcrank access cover. Has anyone done this successfully?
thanks, Kevin

Kevin-

Given the length and size of the Gretz fixture, that would be a lot of stress on a small area surrounding the access cover. You might be able to reinforce around it, but in my install, I used 1/16 plywood and two layers of BID about 12 inches square.

Hi Kevin
I have a Dynon D10A and want to fool with the AOA. I made a Home Grown probe that looks like it came from the Europa Factory (third leg) I haven't flown with it yet. Until I get some time on the bird, I didn't want to try a new position for the static and pitot. Thus my plan is to leave everything in the factory position including the AOA. I will try calibrating and see if the AOA gives any meaningful information.
I made provisions that will allow me to easily move everything (Pitot, Static and AOA) to the front cover. Look through all the pics as I describe everything and my thinking in detail.
http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=86923
See:
Homegrown AOA for Dynon D-10A. Plan "A", "B" and now "C / D".
The "Taco" approach as I describe to making the inside cover flange for the front cover will work just as easy on completed wings. Since your top panels are already bonded on, making 3 aluminium tubes permanently mounted would be difficult, but I think with not too much effort you could run Tygon tubing forward. Find someone with small arms to help out! Run by Bud if it would be OK to drill a hole or holes through spar to run the tubing up forward.
Good Luck

A question for anyone …….

Does the Europa stall warner wing inlet have any use in Angle of Attack instrumentation?

Kevin-

Will give you a better answer later in the day. I want to go to the airport and look at it. I am using my Dynon ASI only at this time. The ASA is fine. To calibrate the AOA, you need to do at least 3 stalls and I am still busy trying to get my overheating problems straightened out. I'll calibrate it after that. I don't find that flying without a stall warning is a problem. As long as you watch your speeds in the pattern, everything works fine.

Will get you an answer later in the day.

Jim

Hi Bob,

Attack instrumentation?

I don't think so. The pressure signal provided is designed to be very
alinear: a small positive pressure (reference static) at most angles of
attack, then a large negative pressure (reference static) near the stall
angle. The purpose is to operate a switch.
An AoA instrument using the signal would probably become just a stall
warner too.

I actually put a stall warning probe in the other wing with the
intention of using it for an angle of attack measurement some time in
the future. The orifice is at 4% of chord or so on the top surface.

I had forgotten what the plans were exactly but I think I have
documented now what my thoughts may have been. See the attachment.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> JR,
No the stall warner is mounted so as to give a specific pressure near the max angle of attack. It is just a probe hole for a low pressure switch.
Basically, go fast and the pressure is high. slow down and finally the low head pressure at the leading edge finally allows the switch to close lighting the light or horn as desired.

Dear Bud Yerly
Thank you very much for your explanation on stall warning.
