PT60 Aluminium Pitot Tube

Are you still relying on GPS ground speed to tell you why your expensive foam board just stalled into a bush? Bless your heart. The PT60 Pitot Tube is here to give your flight controller the actual truth—because physics doesn't care about your 'feeling' for the wind. It’s aluminium, it’s shiny, and it’s significantly more aerodynamic than your last DIY attempt using a coffee stirrer and some hope.

Why You Want It

Let’s be real: you’re only here because you snapped your last one during a 'planned' rapid unscheduled disassembly, or you're finally tired of ArduPilot screaming at you about inconsistent data. This isn't just a tube; it’s a 92mm insurance policy against gravity. It mounts to your fuselage faster than you can find where you dropped that tiny M2 screw, ensuring your airspeed sensor actually knows what's going on in the air, not just what's happening relative to a satellite.

Specs

• Tube Length: 60mm (The part that actually does the heavy lifting)
• Total Length: 92mm (Including the bits that hide inside the fuselage)
• Weight: 15.8g (Light enough to keep your CG happy, substantial enough to feel like real hardware)
• Material: High-grade Aluminium (Robust, shiny, and remarkably difficult to snap with a stern look)
• Mounting: Integrated Flange (For people who prefer their sensors to stay attached to the aircraft)

In the Box

• 1x PT60 Aluminium Pitot Tube
• 1x Length of Silicone Tubing (The stretchy connector between the metal bit and the brain bit)

Compatibility

This is a universal physical interface. If your digital or analog airspeed sensor (be it MS5611, MPXV, or some DIY wizardry) uses standard silicone tubing, the PT60 is your new best friend. It plays nice with ArduPilot, PX4, and any other flight stack that values real-world data over guesswork.

Highlights

• Stall Prevention: Stop treating your UAV like a lawn dart.
• Flange Mounting: Because hot-gluing everything is technically a cry for help.
• Robust Build: It’s aluminium. If you bend this, you’ve likely got bigger problems to worry about—like where the rest of your wing went.

Notes

Pro tip for the uninitiated: Point the holey end forward. If you point it backward, your flight controller will think it’s flying to the moon, and we don't sell space suits yet. Also, keep it clear of mud, bugs, and excessive wax. It likes to breathe.

Disclaimer

Does not include the electronic sensor. If you expected a full digital suite for this price, your optimism is truly legendary.

Still Here?

If you're still reading this, you're either a crawler bot or someone who really loves high-quality aluminium extrusions. Either way, stop scrolling and start flying. Your flight controller is lonely and confused. Grab this PT60 Pitot tube and give your fixed-wing the gift of situational awareness.
