| Subject: | Pitot tube covers |
Hi,
Does anyone have a line on pitot tube covers that fit a Dynon AOA
pitot? I got one from Spruce but it was way too small.
Thanks,
John

Subject: RV-List: Re: Superior Engine Delays
Superior has had one delay after another on their forward facing sump
for the injected engines. They are on the third try and that one was
supposed to have been ready last Sept. Then Oct...Nov...Dec... One thing
I find troubling is that they turned over their response to the Sales
Dept., rather than engineering. Getting info out of them is like pulling
teeth on a stubborn mule. I take note that they have plenty of
engineering staff to develop their 400 HP racing engine, but not to take
care of the cracking sump problem...
Sorry for the vent, but you asked...

Great question. I bought one from Sporty to fit the Gretz heated pitot, but
way to small also. It slides on so is useable, but will not go back far
enough to fasten it.

What pitot tube are you using?
I had mine done and was experiencing a leak. I'm using the Dynon AOA
style pitot tube. Turned out the AOA hole on Pitot tube wasn't getting
sealed in the process. We took off the inpsection panel, unhooked the
pitot tube and went directly on that line. No leaks anywhere.
I've heard of several others having this same issue with this tube.
Otherwise it would be very difficult to get a leak on these fittings.

I'm also using the Dynon AOA/Pitot. I had the same issue - I
called Dynon - it has a "calibrated internal leak" that means
you can't pressure test the pitot directly - you have
disconnect the line behind it as you indicate below.

It's time for me to think "pitot" since I'm close to that point in my wing
construction. So... is there a problem with the pitot system that Van shows
on the plans? Should I consider something different?
Opinions are appreciated!

I used Van's stainless steel pitot and after four years it works great and
it is super simple. But, if you want heat or AOA or a static port on the
pitot you will have to use something else.

| Subject: | Spurious Floscan pulses |
The pulses from Van's Facet pump cause my EIS 4000 to read 2-3
gallons/hour high, when on. This is so even though the pump is in the
cockpit with about two feet of aluminum tubing and a gascolator between
the electric pump and the Floscan head. I tried installing a Matronics
spherical pulse-dampener in the line but did not like having all the
extra fittings. Has anybody on this list tried replacing the aluminum
tubing with flexible fuel line to dampen the pulses?

I have Van's designed pitot system on my VFR 6A and it works fine. Would not
change it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I'm sure it works
just fine on the many planes its installed on.
I went with the Safeair1 plumbing system because, IMHO, its far
easier and quicker to install. I think Vans sticks to alum
tubing for the pitot because its cheap ! Vans pitot "mast"
isn't heated and doesn't give you an AOA option, so you're
paying a little extra to get a lot more by going with the Dynon
or Gretz options.

Hi gang,
There is a small creaking coming from the upper rod end bearing
(hinge) of the rudder of my RV-4. I assume that it need replacement,
but cannot find a part number for this item. I did not build the -4
and don't have the parts call-out list. Help!! Thanks in advance

Try a little LPS-2 (or Lubriplate) on it!

I used the Gretz because I wanted the heated pitot. I tried to use Van's
static lines and rivets but I made several attempts to get the tubing to
stay on the rivets, but to no avail I gave up and used the SafeAir kit. I
am very happy with the fittings, and the ports. Wish I wouldn't have spent
so much time messing with the tube stuck over a rivet.
On the other hand, others have had good luck with it. Maybe I did it all
wrong and thus my problems.
