Oct 23, 2022 Pitot install Category: Avionics
I installed the GAP 26 heated and regulated pitot probe. I had to install some nut plates to mount the regulator, bend the tubes from the pitot and flare the ends for the AN fittings. After that I had to figure out what kind of electrical connectors. I ended up using seal all weather tight connectors. I didnt realize at first that I could use different size wire with the outer shells of the connectors, I just had to use different size pins and sockets. My only concern is how close the probe and wires are to where the aileron push pull tube will go. I am giving sling the shadow of a doubt that it will clear. I dont have the aileron push tube, its in the finishing kit so I will have to deal with that later if it is a problem. Fingers crossed.
