Since we both had colds, my girlfriend and I stayed in for my birthday. She still made me dinner and some cupcakes though!
Today is my birthday and I received my first wing component! My girlfriend gave me a Safeair1 pitot mast…how did she know that was what I wanted? OK, maybe I sent her a link to the Avery Tools webpage where they are sold.
Eventually, I’m planning to use a Dynon AOA pitot probe. The Safeair1 mast was designed for RVs and the Dynon probe, but it will fit others as well. Van’s supplies aluminum tubing to make a pitot probe from, but I just don’t like the way this looks. Many people say it is very easy to bump into the probe and bend it as well. The Dynon probe just looks better and it will also feed AOA information to whichever EFIS I choose to use (Dynon or MGL).
This Safeair pitot mast was a birthday present from my girlfriend.
