I’m thinking about upgrading my old WS units to one Horizon EX and one Sport EX. The Sport EX would replace my lower WS unit which I generally use as a MFD and the Horizon EX replacing the upper WS as my PFD.. The Sport EX has an internal AHRS unit while the Horizon EX utilizes my existing external AHRS. By installing the Sport EX I gain a second AHRS as a backup.
Here’s my uncertainty. This combination will require breaking into my pitot/static system and plumbing new hoses and connections for the Sport EX. Since I’m not the original builder I am not sure where to source the required 1/8” hose and NPT connectors. Where do you recommend?
Also if I break into the pitot/static system doesn’t that require a new Part 91.411 pitot/static check by a FAA certified inspector?
