The pitot on 41CC is located about halfway downthe jury strut on the starboard side. You haveto duck to get under the lift struts at thatpoint anyway, so you don't even get close tothe jury struts or pitot and nobody has evencome close to bumping the pitot yet.If you put it up on the wing leading edge,unless you're building your Piet as a trigearit will actually be up higher than most peoples'heads (except for very tall folks). That said,I have seen more than one KR with the removableinsert type of pitot tube. Down at the level ofa KR's wing leading edge, pitots are really inharm's way for getting bent or broken.PS, good to see Walt back on the list!
