Graham-

My understanding is that the two probes are not static and that it will require
another static port.  Essentially, both are pitot but there will always be a
pressure differential between them and that differential is what is used to 
calculate
AOA.  My plan is to use the static port from the Europa probe for both
the conventional ASI and the Dynon.

<BR>&gt; Jim <BR>&gt; does the Dynon use the 60deg. hole as static? or does
it have two pitots <BR>&gt; and a static.? <BR>&gt; Graham <BR>&gt; <BR>&gt;

If you want to use the AOA indicator, they say that you must use the <BR>&gt;
&gt; Dynon pitot. It has a second hole in it at about a 60 degree angle from
<BR>&gt; &gt; the pitot and the Dynon computer looks at the difference between
the two <BR>&gt; &gt; inputs. I have installed both that and the Europa pitot
and will use <BR>&gt; &gt; the Europa pitot to drive a steam gauge backup ASI
and the Dynon pitot <BR>&gt; &gt; to drive the Dyno
 n. I w
ill share the static source from the Europa tube. <BR>&gt; &gt; <BR>&gt; &gt;

<BR>&gt;
&gt; &gt; <BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; Can't see that this has to be absolutely without
tolerance <BR>&gt; &gt; exactly parallel. The <BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; dynon aoa
indicator will be learning the exact difference between <BR>&gt; &gt; the pitot
and <BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; stall tube later during a series of test stalls. In
will try to <BR>&gt; &gt; use the standard <BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; europa pitot and
the stall warner tube as inputs. Don't know if <BR>&gt; &gt; that works, but
<BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; will find it out in a week or so. I have the dynon asi/stall
<BR>&gt; &gt; pitot, but would <BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; prefer not to pull more
tubes through the plane. <BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; <BR>&gt;
