My neighbor has an LSA with a Dynon system and his pitot/AOA probe seems to have a number of small slits machined into the bottom and sides of the tube. My Dynon pitot/AOA tube does not have these slits.

Is this a different design for LSA verses the experimental?

That doesn't sound like our pitot (although a picture would help us confirm). The drainage system has evolved over time, but you'd only notice that from the holes moving from the back to the middle of the pitot tube.

But to answer the question more directly, there's one design for all aircraft, but it's had some design changes over time.
