Hi All,
Received my Winter ASI today.
There is a part in the box that looks like it would make a good "Pot" pipe.
Must be for either the pitot or static hookup. Can anyone tell me which?

That is the pitot. However, you can use any straight tube for a pitot
if you wish.
I have a Winter and use a PT-17 pitot/static system, vintage WWII.

John H,
I assume that the bowl portion faces the front as a pitot tube. However is very short.
Seems I've read that the pitot tube should stick out into air that's not disturbed by the fuselage or wing.
Then again I suppose, if extended out most of the length of the stem (about 3") it would be past the boundary layer and wouldn't stick out where someone would be likely to bump it.
Also has a much larger opening (7/16" ID) then say a 5/16" alum tube. Would that provide a more accurate ram air source ???

John R:
Don't think the diameter of the pitot tube matters. Large or small
diameter, they all give you the same pressure indication.
