| Subject: | Europa pitot tube piping and connections |
Evening All, I am preparing a UK built (2007) Europa XS tri-gear which I purchased
last year for a permit check flight. The aircraft has not flown for 7 years.
I believe I have a leak in the pitot tube system. Pitot and static lines passing
through the fuselage to the instrument panel seem to be made of semi-opaque
hard plastic tubing approx 7.5mm OD and use 'push-fit' connectors. An adaptor
connects the push-fit connector to standard ?6mm flexible clear tubing to
the flight instruments.
Is this a typical arrangement in Europas and where would I source the larger tubing
and push-fit connectors? Many thanks, Chris
