RV-8 with an AFS 5500 Skyview EFIS and a Dynon SV-Adhars pitot & static ports connected and working with the AOA port unused. All I need for AOA is an AOA port somewhere and tubing back to the Adhars.
Read some posts about RV-8 guys putting a rivet on the bottom of a wing somewhere and other ideas like taking aluminum tubing and making a homemade tube under the pitot tube and making a 60 degree bend downward at the tip.
All great ideas and the pop rivet idea sounds like it would work well as an AOA port. Just not sure where to put it. The older AFS AOA Pro had descriptions in the instructions where to put the two ports required but I’m looking for a good location for just one AOA port.
Ideally somewhere near the current Heated pitot tube under the left wing in case this idea doesn’t work I can install a Dynon heated Pitot/AOA tube at a later date.
Where specifically should one AOA port be located on an RV-8 wing?
