|
I would like to pass on where I located my pitot tube and where I will be locating my LRI probe, also the reason why.
My pitot tube is built as per design on page 6-W-9. I did not locate it at rib # 5 as per plans. Instead, I located it forward of the access cover shown on 6-W-9 -3 in the left wing. It is located 150mm aft of spar cap riviet line as per plans. Instead of 4 rivets to mount it, I used four, 3/16 bolts ( I know, I added weight). The reason for this is, I can reach in through the access hole to install and remove the pitot tube when removing and installling the wings. I am afraid that with the pitot tube riveted on, sooner or later it would get bent during wing removal.
Right now I plan on installing my LRI probe, forward of the access panel on the right wing, using the same mounting procedures. The small hole for it to exit the wing, will be just a little aft of the wing spar cap and close to RR # 7. According to my math, this should place it well within the limits of 15-30% of the cord of the wing.
