Pitot/aoa tube routing
- Thread starter SteveL
- Start date
Good morning!
I'm not really happy with my Pitot/AOA tube routing in this area that passes through the forward spars. Seems like an excessive bend and even more so if I were to use the snap bushing. What have some done in this area?
Thanks!
I use a heat gun to soften the tube and generate tighter bends. Just don't get it soft enough to deform the tube wall overall shape. Hold your angle about 10* more than you want and hold it there while it cools. They are thermoset plastics.
