A question for anyone ...


Does the Europa stall warner wing inlet have any use in Angle of Attack
instrumentation?

Hi Kevin

I have a Dynon D10A and want to fool with the AOA. I made a Home Grown probe
that looks like it came from the Europa Factory (third leg) I haven't flown
with it yet. Until I get some time on the bird, I didn't want to try a new
position for the static and pitot. Thus my plan is to leave everything in
the factory position including the AOA. I will try calibrating and see if
the AOA gives any meaningful information.

I made provisions that will allow me to easily move everything (Pitot,
Static and AOA) to the front cover. Look through all the pics as I describe
everything and my thinking in detail.

See:

Homegrown AOA for Dynon D-10A. Plan "A", "B" and now "C / D".

The "Taco" approach as I describe to making the inside cover flange for the
front cover will work just as easy on completed wings. Since your top panels
are already bonded on, making 3 aluminium tubes permanently mounted would be
difficult, but I think with not too much effort you could run Tygon tubing
forward. Find someone with small arms to help out! Run by Bud if it would be
OK to drill a hole or holes through spar to run the tubing up forward.

Good Luck
