[rebel-builders] Pitot Angle

[Alan Hepburn]

Well, it should be parallel to the airflow, so point it down maybe 3 degrees
relative to the under surface of the wing.

Hello,

I am going to install the Murphy pitot tube (including static port). It
will be installed at the leading edge on the left wing.
As already suggested on this list a position in the fifth bay seems
best, since a can access the connections via the inspection holes of the
stab.

I am actually considering what angle is the best for the tube. My plan
is to install just parallel to the wing. What is your experience? Is
putting it some degrees down better to get more accurate values near
stall conditions?

I have mine pointed down a bit. Otherwise, it may read too low at low speed with a high angle of attack. Don't put it too close to the fuel filler area or you will be bumping it when refueling.
