(I was returning from PDX when I got video of the 787 with the RAT deployed by Boeing test pilots.) Since winds favored Runways 10L/R today, I rode to the Columbia River levee bike/pedestrian trail which overlooks Runway 10L.

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️<p>I have checked the alignment of the pitot tube with the horizontal axis of the glider's tail boom.</p><p>I had to put the glider in a level flight attitude to align the inertial measurement unit in the variometer, and will do it again when I perform the weight and balance analysis.</p><p>The first photo shows a small portion of the tail boom, which has a gentle conical profile. Because of that, I had to put a calibrated spacer at one end of the bubble level. (I also double-checked by putting the same setup on the bottom of the tail boom...the boom is now level.)</p><p>I took the opportunity to measure the inclination of the pitot tube that is mounted high on the vertical fin. It's well within one degree of level also, which is what I want. (If you keep misalignment under about 15 degrees, the pitot tube should provide accurate indications of total pressure.) </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AvGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AvGeek</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aviation</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricAircraft</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Homebuilt</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Glider</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/EAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EAA</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sensor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sensor</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/IMU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IMU</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/INS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>INS</span></a></p>

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️<p>The final instrument has been installed, and it passes basic function tests.</p><p>It's a modern glider variometer that has an inertial measuring unit, two GNSS receivers, a three-axis magnetic field sensor, and two air pressure sensors. It can determine the true flight path, in 3D, very precisely, and its response time to changes in air motion is very short.</p><p>In this short video, I show that the vario display (small round screen) is sharing data with the glide computer (larger rectangular screen). As I raise the instrument panel, the artificial horizon shows a corresponding change.</p><p>Here's a good explanation and demo:<br><a href="https://youtu.be/RoCG2RNBR_k?si=ML8QYJ5HzvSivLW1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/RoCG2RNBR_k?si=ML8QYJ</span><span class="invisible">5HzvSivLW1</span></a></p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AvGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AvGeek</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aviation</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricAircraft</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Homebuilt</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Glider</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/EAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EAA</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sensor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sensor</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Wind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wind</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/IMU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IMU</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/INS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>INS</span></a></p>
