Hi all

come on, yes it was the middle of the night when I mixed up L angles and hat stiffeners.. 



I am about to drill the holes for instalation of the normal zenith tubes and hoses that came with the kit. I am still looking (dreaming) into putting the Dynon EFIS onto the panel if I can afford it. If I go that way I will need a new tube  for the Angle of A stuff will I not?  



so should I wait till I have made up my mind or will the new size tube fit over the old Zenith tube holes??? I would hate to have to patch my new bottom wing skin before first flight.

Hi Chris



I have an LRI rather than the Dynon pitot tube, but I would guess the 

hose requirements are similar.  I have two hoses that run from the 

LRI into the fuselage.



I mounted both the LRI probe and pitot tube on inspection plates so 

they don't get broken while moving the wing around.  If you do this, 

you can probably run new tubes later.



Best regards,



Paul

XL fuselage

Just made my Dynon Pitot standoff.  It will be permanently mounted on the left wing when riveting the wing skin.  The pluming will be accessible through the wing locker.  The Dynon Pitot won't be in place till assembly at the Airport.  Still going to have to be careful moving that wing around though.

Chris,



     The Dynon Pitot probe replaces the standard

Zenith dynamic probe.  It acts as an aoa probe as

well.  You will have to run a third line for static

pressure, for a total of 3.  I placed my static port

in the aft fuselage, but that is builder preference.  



     I mounted the probe under the baggage locker,

allowing for easy access, and delayed installation.  I

cut the holes and fabricated the mounts, but did not

rivet into place until the wings were mounted for the

last time.  Having a probe hanging down makes it a

real pain in the ass to transport.  -More so than you

might think...

I do;t suppose you have a photo of the standoff do you?
