my pitot is aluminum tube and it is mounted in an inspection plate, same plate as is used on the belly. i had planned to use 8 nutplates to secure plate to wing skin. my thinking was that plate is stiff enough to add enough support to area .
i could put a doubler around the edge of the hole and secure it with the nutplates. i thought this would be plenty of reinforcement. this is a 130 mph plane, not 180 mph. am i wrong?
