In article , says...

BTW - if considering a triple probe for a MG get a
double TE/static probe instead. That way the varios
etc can take dynamic pressure off the fin pitot (switchable
to nose with the engine on), the TE can be switched
to static and the double probe static won't be bothered
much whether the engine is running or not. Thanks
to Karel Termaat for that scheme - as used on his Ventus
2CXT.


I didn't understand this:

-are there two identical probes, each with a TE venturi and a static?

-a single probe with two TE venturis and one static port?

-regardless, why won't the static on the probe(s) be bothered by the
engine propwash?

-is there a separate pitot tube, or is that incorporated into the
"double TE/static probe"?
