Does anyone have some suggestions, words of wisdom, or photos showing how they installed the Dynon pitot mast on an already built RV8? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
My Dynon Heated AOA Pitot tube was installed right beside an inspection panel so that I would then have the space to install the heating system. I also installed the OAT probe there. I placed a PEX tube from that inspection panel to the wing root and passed all wires and both AOA tubes through it so I would be sure none got cut or sliced or rubbed against. PEX is super hard to cut even when you want to so no worries there.

Looks great! How did you determine where to cut the hole for the mast? I have the template, but need to get the alignment correct from outside the wing. I’m trying to figure that out without messing it up.
Looks like you removed some rivets along the spar. Did you replace them with solid or pulled rivets?
Thanks for your help.
To clarify, I installed my Dynon AOA heated pitot, the control box and OAT sensor entirely on the inspection panel. Tight, but fits.
