 Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 7:26 am Post subject: Heated Pitot Mount Location |
 |
|
I know this has been covered (sort of) in the archives, but I've got a
slightly different idea from what seems to be the two "standard" mounting
locations discussed earlier (bay outboard of bellcrank & 2nd bay in from
wingtip).
I'm considering putting the pitot where the plans specify for Van's pitot,
in the bay inboard of the bellcrank. To avoid any possible interference with
the aileron push/pull tube, use a 90 degree AN fitting that connects the
flared connection on the pitot tube to the aluminum tube which will keep the
entire assembly tight to the bottom flange of the spar (the line off the
pitot tube extend 1/2" above the mount which is perfect). This does
eliminate any service loop in the pitot line where it joins to the pitot
tube but the connection point is accessible from the inspection panel under
the bellcrank.
In case I'm missing something, can anyone think of a reason not to mount it
in this location? I'd appreciate any opinions on this before finalizing the
location.
Thanks,

I mounted mine one bay outboard of the bell crank. I feel there is
better access than the position specified in the plans, and it will not
interfere with the aileron push/pull tube.
William C. put his heated pitot tube in the stock location. It looks
like (from a photo here
<http://wcurtis.nerv10.com/07Wings/wings95m.html>) that kept the tubing
tight to the spar with a service loop. Maybe William can fill you in on
the details of his install.
