 |

I have a mangled pitot and a desire to see it somewhere other than the
stock 1991 location. I was eying rib 4 or 5 as an alternate to the
specified (in my instructions) rib 7. Has anyone done this? I can't see
any problems. I was also thinking of doubling it up and putting a static
source along under the pitot tube and epoxying them together. Two 1/16th
holes each side of the static should do I would think. I also need the
dimensions of the un-mangled pitot if anyone has them .

My series 5 pitot is .250 OD X .177 ID. I ran mine where the plans said
except instead of drilling a hole in the spar I ran the tube in grommets
thru the ribs.

Thanks Jim, I actually needed the length. I read all I could find about
location and requirements etc for pitot tubes and it seems there are no
strict design requirements. So my new one will be rib 5 or 6 about 5" below
the wing surface.

Thanks, I now have a new pitot, stainless this time as I was unable to buy
1/4" aluminum tube.

I've got a factory fresh pitot (1994) that you can have,if you want
it...I used a Spruce tube for my plane.
