TE probes
I suspect that a repair I did recently on the TE probe on my DG 800B
didn't work. So it's time to get a replacement. My factory probe is 8mm but the end that fits into the receptacle has a small reduced diameter section (4mm) that must fit into a reduced diameter hole inside the receptacle. My previous gliders didn't have this smaller section. So my question is, does any replacement probe have to have this arrangement, or can I just plug in an 8mm probe if it seals properly?. I'd like to get it right cause these things aren't cheap. Thanks, Tim |

Mine has three concentric tubes, or a triple probe. Static, pitot, and suction. Depending on what is hooked up to what, putting a single tube in there might give you some interesting instrument readings.... |

TE probes
You can adapt 8mm multiple type probe installation
to single 8mm TE probe via joining existing 2-3 hoses outputs together via T-piece(s). But do simple leak test on the ground before flight testing to avoid "interesting" instrument readings... |

But you will have only a single probe system then (probably suction) and he is starting with a double probe...fine if nothing is connected to static or pitot. |
