First of all CONGRATULATIONS BIG GUY... YOU THE MAN. I am sure it was a great feelingto fly it after have spent those endless hours building it.Dan you can buy a thermocouple for a digital Volt-Ohm meter and fasten/clamp itto the carb where you want to know the temp and see if you have adequate carbheat. I had a Stinson 108 that I changed the OEM filter out to a PMA type unit(Iforget the brand). It went from an airplane to an ice machine. I had to runcarb heat at cruise some days. Needless to say I went back to the OEM type andproblem went away! Some simple things can cause a serious problem. The heatmuffs I have seen on A engines look really small.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009Ribs and tailfeathers doneusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: homemade pitot tube?

Check out what Mike Cut did in the picture section of westcoastpiet.com. ACS makes a pitot/static combo for $20 or so.

I made my pitot/static tube out of 1/4" 3003 aluminum tubing. I welded theend of the static tube shut and then driled 4 # 60 holes around the tubefor static ports. Works very well.Here is a picture taken inflight showing Mike Cuy's Pietenpol, but alsoshowing my pitot/static tubes:Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

very cool! OK I was all worried about a $200 pitot tube. As for the static... since it is open cockpit, couldn't you just leave all thestatic ports open? Or all run to one point source in the cockpit? One less line to run?Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
