It would be interesting, Dynon tells me that the pitot tube they supply is vented to allow for moisture disipation. They are sending me a new pitot tube to see if the one I have is bad. Will keep you all posted. John I hadn't heard about a requirement for a pressure test, and no comment was made by the $900 DAR.

This must be repeated every 2 years and be entered in the aircraft log book. If you are outside the Class B 30 mile veil, not IFR, don't want Flight Following, and stay out of Class C airspace, you don't have to operate your transponder......Dick Jones-90062 ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: RV9-List: pressure test > --> RV9-List message posted by: kerrjohna@comcast.net > > I hadn't heard about a requirement for a pressure test, and no comment was > made by the $900 DAR. > > It would be interesting, Dynon tells me that the pitot tube they supply is > vented to allow for moisture disipation.
