I recently repurchased (long story) an old D10 I origonally bought in 2004 (I picked the greatest b-day gives from my wife to myself)
So I want to hookup the AoA. But I'm cheap, and I don't want to install the Dynon AoA Probe. So I took a pictures of the probe blew it up about 3x then cut it out and lined it up with the full scale wing section in the plans. I found that about 2.6cm linearly aft of the tip or ~3.8cm if you go around the circumference. is the same angle as the AoA inlet on the probe.
So I marked the spot on a rib and labeled it... I plan to do the same thing the old RV-4 project says to do for the static port. Oversized pop-rivet half-pulled, remove the mandrel, plumb with tubing... Et Voila, poor man's AoA probe!
I'll post pictures on my blog and reference when I do it.
