Dynon Avionics Heated AOA/Pitot Probe - Manual (Page 22)

4-2 AOA/Pitot Probe and Heated AOA/Pitot Probe Installation Guide Rev. C
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
After the mounting location has been determined, you will need to mount the pitot mounting
kit per the included instructions or fabricate your own mount. In either case, mount the Dynon
Avionics AOA/Pitot Probe / Heated AOA/Pitot Probe securely to rigid structure of the airframe.
The body of the probe must be parallel to the wing chord.
Use caution when drilling the holes, ensuring that you avoid drilling into the pitot
and AOA pressure lines. As long as you do not penetrate these lines, you may drill
all the way through the outer metal without affecting the probe’s waterproofing.
As it is sometimes hard to control penetration depth when drilling with a hand
drill, we recommend using a drill press to drill the holes only through the metal
wall, and no further.
