Mar 29, 2024 4.05 You don't know what you don't know. And a bit of rework Category: Avionics
Working to plumb the static and pitot tube system. Made a decision to run the pitot tube down the lift strut. Wired the pitot heater element which runs via the cannon connector (ground is at the rib inboard of the pitot mast.). Didn't realize that there were NO nylo seal parts on hand required to do the final connections to the Garmin GSU25 and ALSO the Garmin G5 (logical...it includes an air-data computer...just wasn't thinking about it before now). AND I will not do an AOA with my Glastar...did so with my Sportsman....but I've discovered the (unused) AOA must still be plumbed into the static source....more fittings I didn't know about. Placed an order with Aerotronics....might be (?) a bit higher price than A.C.S., but dependable to not miss any items. Hopefully to arrive early next week.

When I installed the MAP sensor inside the cabin, I used the larger adel clamps I had in my inventory. Having received a reorder, I redid the double adel clamps; got smart and simply safety wired the one, allowing the new one to more easily install. Still awkward, but no real problem.
