retainers are properly retracted by pressing the outer release ring. This allows for connection,
disconnection, and reconnection of tubing easily with only one hand. A fresh cut of the tubing
with the supplied tubing cutter is recommended before re-inserting the tubing. With the use of
these Quick-Disconnect fittings, maintenance and instrument removal are made significantly
easier from the standpoint of a builder such as yourself.

Installation
Static Port
Two static ports are provided in the Dynon Avionics Pitot/Static/AOA Pneumatic
Installation Kit; one to mount on each side of the aircraft, to further increase
accuracy in pressure readings.
Static air pressure is obtained through both of the static port fittings mounted into the side of
the aircraft. The static port fittings should be mounted appropriately and in accordance with
the specific aircraft – in a place where the port can access relatively undisturbed air flow. The
static ports furnished as part of the Dynon Avionics Pitot/Static/AOA Pneumatic Installation Kit
are designed to be mounted “proud of” (slightly projecting from) the aircraft skin, in order to
provide more accurate readings.
After the placement of the static port is determined, verify there is enough room inside the
aircraft for the flange and fitting of the static port. Drill a ½” (12 mm) diameter hole from which
the static port will protrude. The circular groove on the back side of the port is meant to help
