Heated Pitot

[Wayne G. O'Shea]

Just a quick note to say that I have posted 2 pictures to the "Rebel -
Systems" file, of the heated pitot installation on my Rebel.

It is not located in this location for any scientific reasons!! It just so
happens that the streamline tube mounts nicely into the concaved pressing of
the leading edge ribs center "web". The portion of streamline tube that is
inside the wing was sliced down the center and one side removed to
facilitate easier tubing access and for bolting in place. The bottom hole is
"fixed" and the top mounting hole in the streamline tube was slotted to
allow for some adjustment. The only problem with how I did the installation
is that if you want to adjust the pitot angle at this point, the inspection
cover would have to be remade,or at least the nice tight hole opened up to
allow it to be swung forward or rearward!

Now..... after 2 + months of sitting around.....I really need to get some
work done in the shop, so talk to you all later!

P.S. Anybody got any experience with a JD410 Backhoe, circa 1972?? Mine is
blowing the tranny filter housing off immediately after start up (read
blowing a 1/2" bolt apart in tension). At $39 a bolt and $40 a 20 litre pail
for fluid, I am now looking for suggestions as to what might be stuck or
frozen to allow this much pressure build up and I'm afraid the next time it
might be the housing threads instead of the sacrificial bolt!
