Greetings Everyone,
I recently purchased the 8.4" Sport EFIS w/AOA from GRT.
I need to please confirm if we are supposed to use the Dynon AOA Pitot System for the AOA?
Thanks,

Re: AOA Pitot
The Garmin AOA probe is the only one we've tested and recommend. Other probes should work if they have the same port configuration: a standard pitot port straight out the front and an AOA port below it, generally offset by 45 degrees.

Jeff,
I have successfully tested the Dynon probe. I forgot to tell you.

Re: AOA Pitot
Will a Dynon AOA Pitot work with a Sport HS EFIS running software 8i to give AOA information? If so, where are the calibration instructions?
Thanks

Re: AOA Pitot
I think that you need an EFIS that supports the "Adaptive AHRS" + the AoA Module *or* a MINI with the AoA Module if you want MEASURED AoA (AoA probe needed) vs CALCULATED AoA (no special probe).JimB wrote:Will a Dynon AOA Pitot work with a Sport HS EFIS running software 8i to give AOA information?

Soooo ..... I think that you are out of luck with a Sport HS.

Re: AOA Pitot
Just an aside for those with older systems: I have a Dynon D6 with Dynon pitot for measured AOA, and an HX with the original AHRS for calculated AOA. The two systems agree quite well.
