The plane I am building uses a wing mounted pitot tube with integral static (resides just behind the pitot and consists of several holes around the OD of the Pitot/Static tube just behind a raised shoulder - Aspruce sells it as the Raven Pitot Static tube). This same designed is used on a similar (certified) aircraft.
I would like to use the AOA and would like to know if Dynon has tried adding a slightly larger tube over the AOA probe then sealing the front with a bushing to create the shoulder then placing multiple holes around the OD just behind the shoulder as a static port. In affect, this would be the same as the probe used on the certified aircraft only slightly larger in diameter and having AOA.
I looked at the probe drawing in the installation manual iand it seems to indicate that both the AOA and Pitot aluminum lines are attached to the probe tip. If this is the case, then it would seem possible to place a slightly raised lip a few inches down from the leading tip, drill several holes in the current tube's ID and use the existing tube as the Static port as well. Has this been tried?
