The Airspeed-Sensor kit is a model-safety extra for the Jetronic-Vx turbine controller. A Pitot Static-tube (System Prandtl) and an electronic pressure sensor measures the real speed in the air. Where the Static-tube is mounted in flight direction and the pressure sensor somewhere in the fuselage. Both units are connected together by small tubings for the static- and stagnation air.
Functions of the Jetronic-Vx turbine controller for the Airspeed-Sensor:
•Measuring the flight-speed
•Logging the covered distance
•Logging the top-speed (Vmax.)
•Automatic throttle-down when exceeding the speed-limit (adjustable and switchable)
Kit contents:
•Pitot-Static tube (inspected, ready to use)
•Electronic pressure sensor 0 - 60 mbar (corresponds 0 - 420 km/h / 261 mph)
•50 cm flexible tubing 3 mm
•Pitot mount with assembly parts
