I have a question for those of you who installed the Dynon Pitot (unheated).  How far back from the leading edge did you install it?  Also, how far out from the wing root?



Thanks!



Tim

Tim,



I remember talking to the folks at Dynon about keeping it away from the boundary layer, so it sticks out a ways from the wing surface but it is in the same position on the wing as the zenith design calls for.  



Here is a link to the log entry:

The 4" length on that entry refers to the length of the pitot tube holder I fabbed up.

Tim,



I installed my Dynon pitot  immediately aft of the wing spar just to the outside of rear rib number 5 on the left wing. As Ron mentioned, I believe this is the location recommended by Zenith. A couple pics of the install location are below. Regards //Dave

Thanks guys, that's just what I needed to know.  You both did a nice job of fabricating a mount for the pitot.



Dave, would you happen to remember the principal dimensions (or AC Spruce part number) of the streamlined tubing you used?  Looks like 4130 to me.

Tim, glad to be of help .. but I did not fabricate my pitot mast like Ron did (nice job Ron!) I purchased one from SafeAir1 at http://www.safeair1.com/Pmast_1.htm
