ls6pilot Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I await my plane. Is there a spot to mount the bom on a ctsw? (elsa of course) Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Cesnalis Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm guessing the inspection plate beneath the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT4ME Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 or maybe a plate held in place by the tie-down bolt... It looks like they might also be able to be mounted on the belly... maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls6pilot Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 She does say in the video that the bom replaces an inspection plate. I just wasnt sure about inspection plates on the CTSW. Neat thing about this is it would give static pitot , ahrs , ads-b, aoa and gps to a tablet. Most of the stratis, stratux etc give groundspeed and not airspeed on the synthetic vision. (I think the ilevel 3 has static/pitot but it has to be hooked up in the panel) Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 The Lexan inspection plate is probably too flimsy with weight plus flight loads. You could make a thicker, aluminum plate, but the four tiny screws that hold it are suspect. You could make a different plate mounting setup, or use the tie-down ring as Tim mentioned. I'm *sure* you could find a good secure way to do it under a CT wing. I'm curious how much drag the BOM adds, with the turbine spinning for power and all.

WmInce Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'm curious how much drag the BOM adds, with the turbine spinning for power and all. I would bet very little drag at all. It is very sreamlined. Contrast that to a GoPro camera hanging from that ring. At first look, it's an exciting little device. The technology is moving very fast.
