Hoping the image shows up now.
I miss Tiny Pic! |
simpler
I just heated up the tubing with a heat gun, slide it on and safety wired. easy peasey.
I think garmin recommends a distance of the metal before terminating; and this distance is longer than a straight section could be, so the Pitot tubing needs to bend, so the 90 degree fitting may not be the best. |
Fitting
Were you able to find a push on fitting for the 3/16? aluminum tubing?
|
As long as your end-fitting can fit through the pitot mast and you can disconnect the tube fitting via the inspection plate, all is good.
I used a straight-run fitting to a ferrule-type connection to the tube, and left a service loop of tubing inside the wing to pull the entire pitot tube and connections down outside the wing and disconnect it that way. |

Question?
Sorry. Not meant to be a thread hijack. I haven't found a manual for the GAP-26 and wasn't going to buy the pitot just yet. I assume but pressure sources need to be routed to the cockpit area. Asking because I'll be closing up the left wing soon and sounds like I need to run another soft AL tube and probably dedicated conduit. Any thoughts, ideas, or other suggestions (that would save me from another case of the dumb-***) would be appreciated.

Spoke to Legris/Parker tech. Fine for aluminum tubing. About $8. Fred |
