The only pitot tube cover that disengages if you forget to remove it. Here's how this innovative product can help reduce aviation accidents and reduce liablility:
Releases from the tube at a specific velocity and falls harmlessly away if you forget to remove it.
Protects from contamination of pitot tube while on the ground
Bright color for easy visilbility during preflight inspection.
REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT clearly printed on PitotShields
Ordering was easy. Spoke with a professional and friendly person.
Shipping was fast only two days.
Used the product on a boat outboard motor and bracket.
Excellent primer for bare aluminum.
Couldn’t have gone better from ordering to product results.
Thank you!
I built this kit as a teenager most of 55 years ago. The kit is essentially the same, but now they’re laser cut. In the past, the panels were die-cut, sometimes you get one done with a dull cutter. That took a lot of extra time, carefully re-scoring everything with a narrow Exacto blade so the pieces wouldn’t split. This kit is so crisp, it’s a joy to assemble. It’s fun seeing old reflexes come to life while assembling this baby. I only have the FW-190 from those years, but also built this one (the Hellcat), the Spitfire, Me-109, and the P-40. Good times!
