Dynon Pitot

[efwd]

Hello
Ive done a search for some pics without success. Does anyone have a pic of their install of the Dynon pitot tube? Im not covering for another month or two but I may buy the mount soon but would like a visual of what it entails.
Thanks
Eddie

I made the yellow portion of the mount, a short piece of airfoil shaped 4130 welded to a rectangle. Inside the wing I made an aluminum plate, shaped like a squared, shallow "C", that bridged between two ribs to mount the exterior portion to.

(I hope that makes sense...)

Here is an aluminum bracket I made to hold the Dynon Pitot. I can't seem to find any pictures pre-covering and after pitot install, but if I find one, I will re-post. I used a standard Pitot mount (Gretz, I believe).

There is some information in the builders manual regarding the Dynon style pitot tube as an option.. We have the brackets and the pitot tubes.

And a picture after covering.

Almost time to mount the AOA tube and am considering putting it inside the lift strut. For those who used this location, is the AOA mounted just outboard of the #5 rib so the tube will clear the lift strut?

The build manual says put the pitot on the left wing. I don't have any reason not to mount on the left but "why the left" has been nagging. Is it so the pilot has one last chance to notice the "Remove Before Flight" ribbon or is there a more particular answer?

I'll mount the tiny OAT probe on the AOA mounting board as others have suggested.

I don't remember why I went on the right side. Maybe just to be different?

I've always thought that at least one of the primary reasons for locating it on the left wing is because traditionally (at least with side by side seating), the primary flight instruments that use the pitot/static system are located on the left side of the instrument panel... hence it is a shorter, more direct run for the interconnecting tubing.
