Mike, if you are not worried about having a heated one, you can easily make
one for about $5. On Howards we installed a stainless steel tube (5/16"
brake line) at the2nd last rib of the wing. Drilled a hole thru leading edge
and front spar for tube, with the tube being affixed to a 90 degree bulkhead
fitting mounted to the centre web of the leading edge rib. Tube sticks out
of the L.Edge about a foot and has automatic pitot cover on it (like you
find on a V.F.R. Cessna 150). The little pitot cover is the most expensive
part of the whole installation! Works great and it is out in nice clean
undisturbed air and not effected by prop blast. Was done as a fluke as
Howard never installed a pitot line prior to closing his wings (He was used
to Zenair's methods of fabrication I guess!). We ran the pitot line through
the small "D" in front of the front spar(smeared RTV sealant on it here and
there so it would stick and not bounce around) and then it just turns 180
degrees (inside the wing tip) to go into the leading edge rib area and
attaches to the tube bulkhead fitting.

The other nice thing about it being that far out on the wing is that even on
wheels the tube is high enough that most people do not bump into it!

Blue skies and tailwinds,
