Reto,


Just a quick question. Did you buy or make that pitot tube?

Hi Tom. I made it out of an aluminum arrow shaft. In fact I used to practice archery intensively until a few years ago, so I have some crooked arrows which get refurbished as round hand saws to cut out holes in balsa sheets, or here as a protective enclosure for my pitot tube. The pitot tube itself is a copper tube which is held in place in the center of the aluminium shaft with two perforated hard wood pegs. The silicon tubing is from the rc hobby shop.
