After around 70 practice landings on grass Andy Draper sat with me while I tried
the mono on tarmac for the first time. Interesting, not that scary though, seems
to want to rock a bit and I was recommended not to feel compelled to get
back on the Centre Line once I'd wandered off but to keep straight.
Also tried my short grass strip with no head wind a few times.The strip seemed
a lot shorter than with my C42.
So my formal training is complete and it didn't seem so difficult to me.

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.
