Any experience directly leak testing a Dynon heated/AOA pitot tube? About to go and get my first 24 month pitot/static check done so I can start flying IFR. Was wanting to do a "pre-check" check so I don't end up standing around the avionics shop while they hunt down some potential leak. I am familiar with the various techniques for pressure testing the pitot/static system in general - my question is about the Dynon pitot specifically.
Dynon's installation document mentions that taping over the drain holes may not provide a pneumatic seal. it also says nothing about what should be done with the AOA port during the pitot test. Any experience/guidance here?
