Avionics

Pitot and AOA lines ( 2 hrs )


  • Routed blue 1/4" OD nylon air line for AOA through fuselage from wing root to IP. 
  • Routed "white" line for Pitot.   
  • and Red line in Fuselage is for Static air (routed recently)
Also replaced white line in LH Wing with blue line ( so now matched).  Cleaveland Tools had 25' of 1/4" OD blue line for only $6.35, so I had plenty for both Wing and Fuselage.  I purchased simple air coupler from Stein Air for joining air lines at wing root/fuselage...so I could route air lines in Wing completely, and in Fuselage completely now (vs when joining Wing to Fuselage).  Also, I routed 14ga Red wire from LH Wing root out to Pitot mast, along blue air line.  This will connect heater function on Pitot (non-regulated).
Static (red),  AOA (blue), and Pitot (white) lines to IP
