Subject: Pietenpol-List: Pitot tube installationPieters: I hope I'm not bringing up a worn out subject, but I've run a couple of searches with no results. Where do most builders mount the pitot tube on an Aircamper? I am aware of the vane type airspeed indicator and I plan to incorporate one (mainly for nostalgic purposes), but I'm also installing a nicelyrebuilt conventional, modern airspeed indicator. If left to my own devices, I would mount it on the leading edge of the left wing, but I wonder about the subtleties that are not obvious. Any comments?...Carl Vought________________________________________________________________________________
