All,

  

 I'm wrapping my 801's leading edges, and need to run the tubing for the pitot probe. (sorry, no strippers or scotch-brite in this post!) I intend to use Dynon's AOA probe (already have the mast) which has aluminum 3/16ths OD connectors. I mistakenly ordered "3/16ths" tubing from Aircraft spruce which has  a 3/16's OD (not ID). Looking around, I only see OD's specified for tubing. So, what's the correct size tubing to use with the dynon probe? 

  

 Also, I was watching the "installing a glass panel" dvd this weekend (raining outside...), where they demonstrated a "quick-lock" connector for the static/pitot lines. They didn't state the manufacturer, or even exactly what they're called. (there's no nut to thread over the tube, you thread the connector into the instrument, push a lock back, insert the tube end, then pull the ring-lock back forward- done) Anyone know what these are called? And what size to order to use with the above-mentioned unknown-size tubing? 

  

 Thanks!

Hi Kenny,



 The system used for the ZAC pitot/static probe uses 3/16 barb connectors and tubing along with some 3/16 O.D. rubber tubing to make the joints.  You just put a little rubber tubing over the barb connector and stick the other end over the main tubing line to go into the instrument panel.  You can use some sort of hose clamps to hold them in place, but I just used a couple of turns of safety wire on mine.  ZAC supplies some fancy polyurethane tubing with the kit, but you should do just fine with fuel line rubber tubing available at any auto parts store.
