Brief Description: Attached AOA/Pitot to mast
|
|
Woke up early this morning, thinking about the angle-of-attach/pitot tube attachment to the support mast. The tube has no mounting holes, to allow it to be attached to any of the masts on the market. So, I located and drilled mounting holes on the mast that would not cause the mounting screws to interfere with the internal tubes, then match drilled them to the pitot casing, and tapped the holes in the casing to #6-32. After drilling out the mast holes, I just had to trial mount the whole thing in place to see how it looked. I still have to match up the aluminum tubes for the airspeed line, cut them to length, then flare and connect them. I ordered some nylon tube for the AOA line, it should come later today, and I will see if that is any easier to install.
