Hi Jim,
Do you think that mounting location will work well for the Dynon AOA?
Is yours working well? In other words, is this worth doing?
Thanks, Kevin

hind the spar. If you have closed your wings, you would need to put a hole i
n your skin to mount it, and do as Bud said and use the Gretz mount. I back
ed my Gretz mount with 1/16 plywood and BID. I put them in the same wing to
avoid putting a run of irrigation tubing in the other wing also. The four t
ubes share a length of tubing to the wing root. I actually had to change th
e tubing and was able to get to it through the inspection port and do it in o
nly an hour or so. I used a "T" connector to use the Europa static port for
the Dynon also. Works fine. I have photos of it all if you need them.

flange then mount the probe and its Gretz mount to the wing about 10 inches
back from the leading edge as that is what Dynon recommends I believe for i
ts AOA function. Should icing be a consideration, I mount a cockpit static v
alve to use the cockpit air which is accurate to about 2 knots and 50 feet a
t all speeds and altitudes to 10,000 ft.
