pitot/static location
My Jodel has the pitot and static under the wing, it is built
according to plans and is just two pieces of aluminum tubing taped together which gets bumped fairly regularly, enough so that the previous owner built a little stick jig to adjust the bend. The front of the pitot is in line with the leading edge and when it rains it drips onto the pitot and with cold and wet it froze so I have been flying all winter with out an airspeed indicator, which is no problem but annoying,,,, Soooooo,,,, Why not install the pitot on the top of the rudder, the Jodel has a full flying rudder so it would always be pointing into the relative wind. Would this be enough of an advantage to offset the possible disadvantage of having the pitot in the prop wash? Also why not terminate the static line inside the wing, seems to me the air inside the wing would be relatively static. Your comments will be appreciated Thanks Ray Toews |
