I have the Dynon heated AoA with the Gretz mount. Works fine. I remember it was
a complicated install.

I found a leak in my fuel line that runs from the spider down to the fuel
servo. The leak occurred where the hose goes through the baffle from the
spider so I removed the armor from the hose over the leak and found that the
rubber center was very stiff and not very flexible. The hose has been
affected by the heat in that area but I don't know where to get a
replacement hose or what to specify as to hose type. Is this a time limited
part-mine has been in service in sunny Arizona for 3-1/2 years- or was the
hose quality not good enough in the first place. The original did not have
fire-sleeve on it: would fire-sleeve have help protect it from the heat?

I also have the Gretz mount and the Dynon Pitot. I thought the installation was
straightforward. I did it prior to riveting the skin.
The Dynon is, like the Gretz, thermostatically controlled. It will drive a light
to show that it's turned on and working. I haven't yet hooked it up to anything
other than my GRT EIS.
Software guru's:
Does anyone know if it's possible to code the GRT EIS so that with the OAT < 5
C AND a given analog input (hooked to the pitot sensor) high, it will send a warning?
e.g., I'd like to get a pitot heat reminder if I forget to turn it on
when the OAT < 5C.

I'm going to replace the hose Tim but don't know of a source. I got mine
from an off-road supply house and it was not fire-sleeved. Do you remember

Recommend integral firesleeve hose. Parker 124J or equivalent. Precision
Hose Technology i Tulsa is one good hose shop. It is a standard hose for
all IO540s, so they should know the dimensions.

I use Herber Aircraft in El Segundo. www.herberaircraft.com You definitely
want fire sleeve on that one. You should be able to just call them and
order by length and type of end fitting.

For this particular line I prefer the teflon integral firesleeve hose,
because it is smaller outside diameter, naturally abrasion resistant,
and is good for the life of the engine. Some have opted to use it for
all oil and fuel hose forward of firewall......Will Curtis I think,
perhaps some others. It is about 15-20% more expensive, but prevents any
fire from burning through the line(for awhile at least).

| Subject: | Re: Pitot tube mast |
How about this for a 2 minute answer.....
Use the coolant temp line on your EIS and set the lower end to alarm at -5C.
Put that line through a normally closed relay that is activated by the pilot
heat (on line)....
Now I can already see a couple of problems with that, but they could be
worked out....like what is the reading with no input...would you have to
provide a false signal for when the heat is on, etc.
Another idea that would work.....a couple of years ago at an AOPA event I
saw a guy selling an ice detector. You could use one of those to warn you
when you have ice. You would have to figure out where to mount it so that
it ices up first so that if you have not turned on the pitot heat you are
not too late. You could use one of the analog lines in the GRT system.
I will put more than two minutes on this later......I am not an electronics
guy....I may have been trained by the Air Force back in the 70's but since
then electricity has changed.....or maybe I have just gotten older.

Got my first old age scare this past year....one year ago I was told I had
ocular hypertension.....high pressure in the eye. I looked it up on the FAA
site and found out that although my eye doctor said I had no problems, that
my flight surgeon would not be able to sign my medical. Trying to be
proactive I got my eye doctor the form the FAA said they needed and well
before my medical expired, I got a fresh eye exam with all the special test
I needed and then did my flight physical...due to scheduling problems that
was done right after Christmas. My flight surgeon proceeded to defer my
medical to the FAA and sent in all the paperwork. Since my old medical
expired 31 Jan 12, I started calling the last week of Jan. They were very
pleasant, but all they would tell me was that they had the paperwork and
they would get to it when they got to it. Long story short, they got to it
and I receive a new medical 10 Feb.
Although I thought there was no problem......it really hit me hard when it
got to a point where I could not fly.
Caution....the FAA can be slow....

If your insurance calls for 25 hours of RV time....a post to Van's
Airforce offering a ride in RV-10 to anyone meeting that # hours and
qualifications should get you someone to play the role.
I did that for 9 months with a hung kidney stone that was too small to
blast. Just had to find someone with tailwheel experience for the plane
I had then.

Rene,
Thanks for your thoughts. Problem is, there is only one analog output for all alarms.
I don't want "pitot heat needed" illuminating when it's time to change
fuel tanks, for example.
Of course the serial output line has all the info. But that sounds a lot harder.

That's why I wondered too....I couldn't remember if mine came
with the engine or from Van's, but it had fire sleeve, so I
was curious as to how yours didn't. I have some photos though
and it looks like it came with the engine from Aerosport, so
that's how I got it.
Has anyone replaced the fuel line in the tunnel from fuel
pump to firewall with teflon yet? I'm about to start
tearing open that area again and I think if teflon will
do the curves right I would like to do flex there too.
I still have the poor quality aluminum tube there now.
I bought some of the better stuff too, so in a pinch
I could remake it.

Hey Tim,
Yes, on the stainless braided/teflon inner from the fuel pump to the
firewall. I'm pretty sure others here had done it, then when Wes had his
inspected, the guy recommended that the original hard line be replaced (as
well as the brake lines from the fuse all the way down to the wheel
cylinders) -- so we did. It wasn't that difficult to do and no problems in
the last two years. We just measured and had them made up at a local
hydraulic shop.
Later, - Lew

That's why I wondered too....I couldn't remember if mine came
with the engine or from Van's, but it had fire sleeve, so I
was curious as to how yours didn't. I have some photos though
and it looks like it came with the engine from Aerosport, so
that's how I got it.
Has anyone replaced the fuel line in the tunnel from fuel
pump to firewall with teflon yet? I'm about to start
tearing open that area again and I think if teflon will
do the curves right I would like to do flex there too.
I still have the poor quality aluminum tube there now.
I bought some of the better stuff too, so in a pinch
I could remake it.

Good evening everyone. My name is Steve, and I am an RV builder in
Wisconsin. We just finished an RV-10, and previously I have completed a
Challenger Amphib and about half a Murphy Moose. I have been involved in
different aspects of aviation for my entire life, and have a passion for
working on airplanes. It was only natural that my passion would eventually
turn into a business, and I am now officially announcing the start of
Aircraft Specialty LLC. We are working toward being a one stop shop for
all your aviation needs. Right now we carry multiple product lines
including: Sioux Tools, Lightspeed Headsets, Clecos and Accessories, and
Tungsten Bucking Bars. In addition, we do custom hydraulic hose assemblies
(with an online calculator for automatic price quoting.), and are going to
be adding a full CNC machine shop in the next several months.
Our website is www.aircraftspecialty.com
I'd love it if you would take a look and feel free to forward suggestions
and comments on what product lines you would be interested in seeing in the
future. Also, please feel free to let your friends know about our site. I
understand the value of customer service, and feel that it will help
differentiate us. My goal is to make sure all of our customers are 110%
satisfied, and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that you are.
Thanks again, and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Steve
Aircraft Specialty LLC
