REFLECTOR: OAT

[Paula and John Schoorl]

Has anyone had any success using the GRT OAT sensor?  We have had ours
installed pointing down in the fresh air NACA since day one and it always
reads high in flight but about right on the ground.  It sits side by side
with a Blue Mountain sensor which does read correctly.  We have tried
shielding it so it does not pick up any heat from the oil cooler.  As far as
we can tell there is no calibration or correction in the software.  We even
ordered a replacement.

Any suggestions?

Hey Ruben,
Try putting it further foreword but still in the scoop- downward facing is
how most of them are installed

I never got the passenger intake scoop installed. That is plan B.

That should be inside of the cabin air intake scoop on the passenger side,
should not get any heat there.

I am planning to relocate my OAT sensor as I discovered that it is picking
some heat from the radiator in the actual position and the reading is not
accurate. I thought having it sticking out in the belly, but to avoid icing
I wanted to install in the front of the sensor something to diffuse the
direct air. Has anyone gone this path? Any ideas or suggestions for what is
the best location or install?
