At last - a simple, inexpensive, good-quality pitot-static head for homebuilts! Thank you AC-S!

Good quality, works well for my application.

The heavy weld 1/4 from the static hole in the side of the tube caused incorrect readings. I had to file it down. I would suggest the weld be done on the other side. Also a smaller tack rather than a huge weld glob.

This particular design doesnt work well with the 230 airfoil. It doesnt seem to be low enough to get out of disturbed air. I get erratic and unreliable airspeed readings. Im going to switch to a mast type coming straight out of the leading edge.

The combined pitot-static looks just like the photo and appears that it should work fine for its intended application, but purchasers should beware that the welds are fairly ugly. They're fairly large, not symmetrical, and the heat-affected zone wasn't cleaned up. One of the welds is fairly close (1/4 behind) the single static port hole. Again, the port should work just fine, but I was expected a better fit and finish - every time I look at it, I want to grind the weld off and redo it (saving that effort was the entire point of buying this assembly). It'd be nice if they offered an option of buying the parts (two bent tubes, endcap, baseplate) unassembled, so that end users could put them together in a more aesthetically pleasing manner. For a low-stress application like this, I'm pretty sure the tubes could be held in place in the baseplate using industrial adhesive, and there was probably no need at all for the two tubes to be welded together at the bottom.

Q: What size is this pitot / static tube #15144? I need to know what size it is in order to connect to my nylon tubing.

This pitot tube is 1/4" OD.

Q: Can two air speed indicators be run from one pitot tube? I want to use a back up mechanical UMA to go with my GRT Avionics Sport EFIS.

Yes, two airspeed indicators can be run from one pitot tube. Please consult with your mechanic for correct installation.

Q: Do you know what the tubing Inner Dimension for the 15144 Pitot Static Tube? Just curious if you know what the alloy is?

The 15144 Pitot Static Tube is a 6060-T6 1/4in .035in wall alloy tube. It has an Inner Dimension of .180 in.

Q: Do you sell a pitot tube cover which fit pitot-static tube #15144?

Yes, please see universal pitot tube cover part number 13-05610.

Q: Is there room for part # 10-02000, pitot tube protector, to be installed on Pitot-Static tube #15144?

Yes but you would need to cut the other tube to accommodate it.

Q: Is this for underwing (vertical) mount only, or can it be mounted from the side of the fuselage?

This could be mounted either way, this does not have specific mounting or application specs.

Q: Will this work for the GRT sport for the AOA part? It said it needs a 2 port 45° Pitot and wasn’t sure if this would work

Per the manufacturer, the recommended PITOT tube is 11-11448.
