Total build time: 465 hours.
The plans call for the fabrication of the pitot tube, or to buy a pre-made tube from Aircraft Spruce. I used the pre-made tube. It combines pitot and static sensors in the same assembly.
The tubes were pretty close where the connections will be made, I used some shims to pry them apart slightly.
I then made the mount from .062 aluminum sheet.
My first idea was the just rivet the tube to the bottom of the plate, and attach the plate to the wing skin, like so:
As soon as I took the above picture, I realized that I hated installing it this way. After all that work I went through for a nice looking flush mount for the LRI, this looked like a giant blister with a bunch of mounting surface unnecessarily protruding from the wing into the airflow. So, I went a different direction and made all my holes bigger. This would allow me to insert the tube into the mounting plate from above, so that giant mounting surface would be hidden inside the wing.
Aha, this is looking better already… now most of the mounting surface is on the interior side of the mount.
Much better! Not exactly a flush mount, but far less mounting surface visible to the airflow (and me!)
