Kevin- 

Will give you a better answer later in the day. I want to go to the airport and
look at it. I am using my Dynon ASI only at this time. The ASA is fine. To 
calibrate
the AOA, you need to do at least 3 stalls and I am still busy trying to
get my overheating problems straightened out. I'll calibrate it after that.
I don't find that flying without a stall warning is a problem. As long as you
watch your speeds in the pattern, everything works fine. 

Will get you an answer later in the day. 

Jim

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

Kevin- 

Given the length and size of the Gretz fixture, that would be a lot of stress on
a small area surrounding the access cover. You might be able to reinforce around
it, but in my install, I used 1/16 plywood and two layers of BID about 12
inches square.

Hi All, 
I'm thinking about adding Angle of Attack function to my Dynon D10a unit. This
requires the Dynon aoa pitot to be installed on my completed wing. I think that
could be done easily by mounting the pitot on the bellcrank access cover. Has
anyone done this successfully? 
thanks, Kevin

Paul- 

I mounted my Dynon on the same wing as the Europa probe. It mounts a little more
toward the leading edge as I recall. I think I mounted mine just behind the
spar. If you have closed your wings, you would need to put a hole in your skin
to mount it, and do as Bud said and use the Gretz mount. I backed 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 tubes share a length
of tubing to the wing root. I actually had to change the tubing and was able
to get to it through the inspection port and do it in only 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.

Paul, 
I always put the standard pitot / static on my aircraft. It hooks to the normal
A/S and Altimeter. The Dynon probe is added to the other wing normally and feeds
the Dynon pitot/aoa. I make a 5 inch access hole and build in a 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 its AOA function.
Should icing be a consideration, I mount a cockpit static valve to use the 
cockpit
air which is accurate to about 2 knots and 50 feet at all speeds and altitudes
to 10,000 ft. 

Do not mount the Dynon where the standard pitot is. 

Regards, 
Bud

Hi Bud (or anyone else who has an answer), 

I read your post while looking for info on the Dynon AoA. I was thinking of 
installing
this AoA, but their probe has just 2 holes - pitot and AoA - I'd then
have to find another source for the static air - can you recall what George Reed
did for static? 

Thanks in advance.
