The pitot tube installed in the nose. We made a stiff epoxy schmooey with all the goodies: micro balloons, milled fiber and flox. We used this to build a cradle on the top of the landing light housing: The cradle will limit side-to-side movement of the pitot tube.
We created a mounting point on the ceiling by packing schmooey around the bolt sleeving, between the brackets. This mounting point eliminates any front-to-back movement of the pitot tube. |
