Brief Description: Installed the Pitot/Static/AOA to instrument panel
Today I installed the Pitot/Static/AOA systems that were purchased from SafeAir1 about 3 years ago. SafeAir1 gives a one sheet description without any pictures or diagrams of how to install their kits. This leaves one to figure out how to position the fittings to connect to one's particular setup. I had already determined where the tubing should penetrate the subpanel to connect to the Dynon EFIS's.
All I had to do was position the fittings to allow all three tubes to cross at the top and forward end of the radito stack while passing through a large vynl tube for protection. Vertical separation as well as a spacer behind one T fitting (one on each side) to give longitudinal spacing for passing a tube behind another were the difficult concepts for me. I finally got all those tubes to go aft through the subpanel so that they will connect to 3 fittings in each EFIS. The white tubes are the static system, the green tubes are the pitot system, and the blue tubes are the AOA system that comes from the Dynon heated pitot in the left wing. The pitot and AOA tubes will be routed to the left forward side of the subpanel and connected to the green and blue fittings when the wings are put on the fuselage.
Now, back to the wiring!!
One T fitting and two L fittings with tubes on the right side.
Note that the three tubes pass above the radio stack in a vynl tube for protection.
The white static tube comes down the left side under the canopy rail and thru the subpanel.
