A length of nylon "string trimmer" line may be of use in helping to dislodge
or break up debris from the pitot lines - along with the use of low pressure air as previously suggested by others. After cutting the nylon, briefly hold the end to a flame to round over any sharp edges. This will remove any risk of nicking or cutting the O-rings in the probe fitting. Unfortunately, this probably won't help at all with the TE or static as those connections, at least on fittings I've seen, leave the probe socket at right angles. -- bumper - ZZ "Dare to be different . . . circle in sink." to reply, the last half is right to left "Jack Glendening" wrote in message nk.net...
