Default Safeair Pitot Mast and Which Pitot / AOA?

When I bought my RV-10 empennage kit, the previous builder included some random accessories with it, including a Safeair pitot mast (the new blue anodized kind).

I am nowhere near selecting a particular avionics package, but I do know that I need to install a heated pitot and want to install an AOA package. i just ordered the wing kit and am preparing for that build now.

My question is this: which heated pitot / AOA packages will fit the Safeair mast? Do they all share a common mounting profile? The information in Safeair installation instructions doesn't cover this, the Safeair web site doesn't have pertinent info that I can find, and even a pretty good search of this site doesn't answer the question.

Any solid info on which heated pitot and AOA units can use this mast readily?

They should fit all standar heated pitot tubes. Run 2 lines, one for pitot and one for AOA. Both the Garmin and the Dynon/AFS unit will work.

Don't know about the others but the Dynon fits it just fine.

Thanks! I wasn't sure about the physical fit-up.
