Captain Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 G'day all, I need to mount an OAT probe forthe Dynon system and am looking for guidance on where it is best located toprovide a real & representative temp reading. Any serious suggestions would be appreciated (my wife has already provided her thoughts after seeing the Southparkabout Cartman's anal probe),particularly if anyone has installed one successfully in aJabiru. Where does the factory put them in factory J160's? Regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I dont think it really maters where it goes, as long as its in the slipstream and not effected by engine exhaust or cabin exhaust if your pressurised.. oh and not through a structural area.. almost all Airliners and millitary aircraft have it on the side of the fuselage somewhere. all piper aircraft have it installed in the windscreen along the top edge.

Captain Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks for that. I was thinking of putting it underneath out of the sun behind the transponder antenna however that would get hot air from the cowl and maybe some exhaust heat. Anyone have any more ideas?

Captain Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks Greg That's the perfect spot. I'll put it thru the skin in that location. The Dynon probe requires a 3/8" hole and is about 1" long. Regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I put mine out in the gab between the wing and the fuse went out next to the stall horn ,works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Bear Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Inside the wing root or iside the ventral fin are the standard places for Jabiru Dynon installations. Anywhere under the fuselage will be heat affected and give you some crazy TAS figures, like some "other" aircraft who shall remain nameless for the purposes of this discussion.
