Dynon pitot/aoa plumbing

Thanks for all of your great advice. I will be using plain nylon tubing so I will be sure to label each line. It also sounds like a good idea to run an extra conduit just in case. Thanks again..

A pitot line will fit nicely in the j-channel in the middle of the top skin. Before you put on your bottom skins it would be easy to install and put a dab of rtv at each rib to prevent chafing.

Not sure if you can tell from this picture, but the pitot and AOA are run at the base of the ribs, I drilled the holes not to far apart.

Leave yourself enough "service loop" in your wiring and plastic lines inside the wing to be able to unscrew the pitot from the mast, drop it down and disconnect from the outside. You can secure the service loop easily with wire ties from the access plate beside the pitot mast, but it's a LOT easier to do the connect/disconnect routine with it hanging free from the wing rather than flat on your back under the wing fighting through the access plate.

More great advice, thanks again it's always appreciated. I just received my pitot/aoa today. I just need a little more advice then I'm ready to work. how did you guys mount the controller? I'm thinking of making a mount with some scrap aluminum and nut plates then riveting that to a rib. I guess the other option would be to rivet 4 nut plates directly to the rib itself but it doesn't seem to rest flat between the lighting holes.

This is my first time working off the plans so I just want to make extra sure that I don't mess up. Thanks!

Exactly as you say. If you can find a flat spot to just mount the nutplates, that works fine. Otherwise, and plate over a lightening hole and the controller there works. For easier access, you could also mount it to the inspection plate.
