I'm installing a heated Gretz pitot tube, and wondered about the best
mounting location. My plan was to mount it close to where Van shows it in
the plans, but the simple tube version goes into the spar flange and the
Gretz has a post mount. Help or better yet a picture of an operation unit
would be greatly appreciated. Carl

Carl,
I don't think I have any pictures already but I installed that same pitot
and it is right where the stock position is for an RV-6. I suspect it is
just slightly back in order to allow the mounting bracket for the post to
go. You can go back all you need because the pitot end will actually be
forward of the stock tube anyway. Just move it back enough to mount the
bracket as needed.
I am flying and my airspeed is as expected.
Tim

I followed the instructions that came with the Gretz pitot tube
mount, except I moved it one bay outboard.

You have to work really, really hard if you want to screw up a pitot
source. The laws of physics work in our favour, unlike the situation
with static sources. A pitot source will be accurate as long as the
pitot tube is far enough away from the skin to be clear of the
boundary layer, it is not in the prop wash, not in the wake of
something else, it is pointed roughly into the local airflow, and
there are no leaks. Wind tunnel data shows that a pitot source will
be quite accurate as long as it is aligned within about 15 degrees of
the direction of the local airflow.
Leaks close to the entrance of the pitot tube are much less critical
than leaks further down stream, as any air that leaks out is replaced
by air that comes in the pitot tube. The error from a leak is due to
the pressure loss required to push the leaking air from the tube
entrance to the leak location. Thus small leaks very close to the
pitot tube entrance have neglible effect on the accuracy, which is
why it is OK to have very small drain holes in pitot tubes.

Carl,
Like many builders, I moved the pitot installation outboard an extra bay to help
avoid potential conflict with tie down ropes. The photos should give you
a general idea of a typical Gretz installation regardless of where you decide
to locate it.

Has anyone out there used the 2-1/4 g-meter sold by Aircraft Spruce and
which I suspect is of Chinese manufacture? Domestic rebuilds are
apparently
rare and thus quite expensive. If the import is ok, fine. If it is
junk,
not so fine. Comments, please.

10-years ago, I went through the same thing. I purchased the CHEAP Chinese
one only to find out how CHEAP looking and Chinese made it was. I returned
it for the NAME brand and find out that it was ALSO Chinese made but it did
not look as cheap.
Good luck with your search.

Hi all,
Wonder who difficult it would be to fit a heated pito tube once the
skins are on the wing (RV7),but wings not fitted to the fuselage as yet.
Anyone done this before?
