Differential pressure sensor setup

[thibs73]

I am looking to use a Motorola MPX 5010 differential pressure sensor for airspeed measurements on a helicopter UAV. I am a first-timer, so I wanted to know the specifics concerning which kind of ported sensor I should get. If I decide to get a stovepipe port (cuz it would be free), what else would I have to do concerning the physical setup to accurately measure airspeed? What kind of pilot tube or other things do I need to consider?



Here is the sensor I am talking about:

Never mind the stovepipe version, that is only for gauge pressure and not differential...still input is greatly appreciated.

That transducer doesn't seem sensitive enough for a helicopter.
The max pressure of 10KPa corresponds to a speed of about 280 mph at sea level.
At 28 mph, you'll be using only 1% of its max reading, so your airspeed measurement resolution will be poor.
