Houman Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 This might be obvious for experts, but I'm not one... yet. Going under the wings and fuselage today for some pictures and pre-annual prep and I saw this on the right wing, it is somewhat loose, I mean I can turn it a bit, don't have the same on the left wing. Thanks for letting me know what you think it is.
orionflt Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Left wing, looks like a drain for the pitot system Brian
Hank Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Left wing, looks like a drain for the pitot system Brian My pitot drain isn't in an inspection panel, it's up close to the fuselage. Does the center bump push in? Does the whole thing turn? Or just the tip? Please confirm right wing = the side with the door. 1

Yep, right wing ( door side ), the nipple thing dos'nt push in, at least I did'nt try too hard, the nut turns a bit, but did'nt try again too hard either.
chrisk Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 I have one of these on my plane too. I have assumed it is the outside air temperature sensor. The bottom of the wing makes sense, as the sun is off of it. --But I have just assumed.
Guest Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Ah yes, the famous" wus it fuur", or the " wus is das". AKA Mooney OAT probe. Clarence
KSMooniac Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Definitely the factory OAT probe. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
carusoam Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Paint isn't much of a thermal insulator. But, no, I wouldn't paint it either... Pilot opinion. Best regards, -a-
