So, what to do?  Has anyone out there used the AOA with 3/16” NylaFlo?  If so, what was your solution to tap into the pitot and static lines?


Dan,

I do not have an exact solution for your problem - However, check your local hardware store for plastice t-fittings that accept a variety of  hoses. 

If I ever finish another plane, I will build MANIFOLDs for the pitot and static "lines".  Here's why:
Static:
1. 2 in coming static ports.
2. AOA feed
3. "squat" switch via "airspeed".
4. Airdata computer
5. backup airspeed, altimeter and vertical speed.
6. etc
Pitot:
1. Incoming pitot port.
2. AOA feed
3. "squat" switch via "airspeed".
4. Airdata computer
5. backup airspeed.
6. etc.

Every connection will be pipe thread into the manifold block and tube fittings (1/16" - aoa, 3/32" - airdata, 1/4" other instruments, metric?, etc.) appropriate for the device.  Never again will I use the spider web of t-fittings and odd transitions to get pressure data to the weird variety of fittings on the various sensors....
