Matt,
>>This does
bring me to some questions about Angle of Attacks. I do not have one in my
Lancair 320 MKII but would like to add one. I have heard that they
are MUCH easier to add while building but I am flying now and wonder what you
guys think is the easiest AOA to install on a flying aircraft. My wingtips
are not removable.<<
If you're using a Dynon
EFIS and pitot tube, that would be the easiest. That would only take the
installation of one tube, parallel to the pitot line.
We've installed a
couple AFS AOAs after the plane was flying. It's a bit more involved than
an installation during construction, but still not that difficult. And the
benefit is definately worth the effort. The sense tubes are small eneough,
1/8" OD, that they can be run down the back of the aft spar, in front of the
flaps and ailerons. Just be careful about control interferance.
