Hi Group, I am installing Dynon's Skyview efis in our
ES. Dynon has their own pitot probe that includes AOA by having a second hole on the bottom of the
tapered area. It fits nicely in the mount that was in the wing as part of the quick build. However it sticks
forward two inches more than the standard which makes it about even with the leading edge of the wing. The
Dynon instructions recommend 2 to 12 inches behind the leading edge and six inches below the wing. If I mount it in the
existing mount it sits even with the leading edge and two inches below the wing. Should I try it where it is at or is
there no chance it will work? Also they say it should be mounted horizontally. With the airplane
level according to the fore and aft dimples the pitot tube is angled up about 6%. Is that
ok? I have included a link to Dynon's installation manual. <http://dynonavionics.com/downloads/Install_Guides/100740_-_Heated_AOA_Pitot _Probe_Installation_Guide_-_Rev_B.pdf> http://dynonavionics.com/downloads/Install_Guides/100740_-_Heated_AOA_Pitot_ Probe_Installation_Guide_-_Rev_B.pdf If
I install it according to Dynon's instructions it means fabricating a new bracket, moving it aft on the wing, and patching the existing
hole. So if it will work where it is at it will save a lot of effort. Thanks for your
help. Dan Barnes
