Dear David, dear Ron,
First of all many thanks for your advices and input.
So my point was to use the Europa static tube on the pitot/static device as
AOA signal for the Dynon.
Ron, are you sure that the position of the Europa device is too far back?
Hundreds of Europas are flying with this system very successfully.
As my plane is completely ready, it makes no sense to cut another hole into
the wings. For the Dynon I will now open and clean the static tube, get a
sleeve over that and will extend with a 45 bended tube to a (better?)
position. Flight tests later will show the best lengths.
Best Regard,
Bruno

Hi Bruno
If you bend down static port after you remove bullet so it is at a 45 degree
down angle there is a chance you may get some usable AOA information when at
Factory position. As mentioned in my album it is too far aft for optimal
performance because the true airflow will have become distorted because too
much wing is upwind (in other words airflow will begin to follow the bottom
of the wing).
If it is unacceptable you can move both the static and AOA (old pitot) to
position shown in my album. BTW that position was carefully chosen and
allows for pitot/ AOA tubes to somewhat be protected when wing is on Factory
trailer.

BTW be very careful grabbing the tube for bending, you can easily crush it.
