Bill, If you look at the print again, you will find that the pushrod
is 27 1/8 from bolt center to bolt center. 22 inches comes to mind as what
I made both of mine, but I can't remember if there is a part of an inch there
or not. I determined the length by turning my bearing ends onto the tube insert
to the point where I wanted them to rest setting adjustment freeplay. Again
if memory serves me correctly, I turned the screw into the rod end to the
halfway point, which is required by building practices, and then I split the
difference of the remaining screw. I then placed the bosses that sit against
the tube end together, and placed the center of the bearing at 27 1/8 inch on
a tape measure, and the resultant length appearing in the center of the other
bearing is what the tube needs to be cut to. I still managed to screw my first
one up so the caveat of measure three times and cut once doubly applies here.
Good luck, and keep pounding rivets.

Just received my wing kit this Saturday and while completing the inventory found
that I didn't have an ST4130-035X1/2X 48". I was sent one only 38" long. Looking
at DWG.15 it shows the pushrod needing to be 27 1/8 inches long. I assume
that the intent was to cut the 48" rod in half and end hardwre makes up the remaining
3 1/8 inches. My question is, what is the proper length on the pushrod?
is the DWG correct or is the 38" rod long enough to fabricate two pushrods
(~22" long).

John, take a look at the mount offered at
http://www.safeair1.com/index.htm. It may fit without modification,
unlike the Gretz mount. The safeair1 mount is cheaper and requires
painting, but so does the Dynon probe. Bill Repucci posted some pictures
somewhere showing the modification needed to the Gretz mount.

My concern is in the mounting of the Gretz. It came without instructions, so if
they exist out there would appreciate a copy of them.

Now, if you are actually asking about where to mount the Gretz mount on
the wing, then you are correct that the hole location recommended by
Van's for the standard pitot is not suitable. The Gretz mount must be
located more aft in the wing skin. I believe (if I remember correctly)
that the Gretz mount comes with appropriate instructions for this aspect.

Check the archives, keywords "gress" "pitot" "Dynon". The thread should be
there...no one uses "do not archive" on their posts to weed out the chatter.
If I remember correctly the problem
was at the Gress mount and the Dynon
Pitot head juncture. The pre drilled holes in the relief on the pitot head
did not allow edge clearance on the Gress mast. Some carried the relief
further down on the pitot head to get the pitot head holes further away from
the head. If I remember correctly the recommended fix from Gress/Dynon is to
ignor the holes in the Pitot head and make new ones in the places you need
to to allow for edge clearance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong (it won't be
the first time).
Ralph Livermore, Wings ... Fuse should be here today!

Has anyone measured the distance from the fuselage to wing tank fittings
(fuel and vent)? I have already drilled my wing angles and forgot to measure
the length for where to put the tubing flare on the fuel and vent lines.
Thanks!

First, thanks for all the help. I emailed Van's support department today
and they replied back within 2 hours. Indeed I was sent the wrong length
rod. They will be sending another 36" rod so I'll be cutting both of them
down to something like 23". Glad I took the time to measure and glance at
the drawings during inventory.
