| Subject: | Re: Wing strut Fairings and a new Pitot tube??? |
Absolutely beautiful work Lloyd. Blending the two fairings together like that
is what I had in mind. I can guarantee however that I will not end up with as
nice of a finish but hopefully I can get the shapes similar. I am assuming that
the PVC is pretty easy to get a shape on with some medium sand paper.
As far as the pitot, if I use the existing mounting hole in the wing the face will
end up about 4 inches below and 4 inches behind the leading edge where the
stock one is 4 inches below and even with the LE. I will see if I can move it
forward a little without causing too much trouble. I believe that there should
not be much error if it is a little behind the LE. It may read a little high
while at high AOAs but I am not normally looking at the ASI at times like
that anyway.
