Until now, I had been planning to locate my Dynon pitot/AOA tube just outboard of the aileron bellcrank, simply because that's where the SafeAir1 pitot mount instructions suggested. However, Dynon's website suggested the normal location for Van's pitot (bay inboard of the bellcrank) worked as well in their testing. Since I still haven't found a way to run the AOA pitot lines past the bellcrank (in a way that doesn't leave me a little uncomfortable about potential bellcrank interference), is there any reason not to put the pitot tube in the bay just inboard of the bellcrank? It seems that this would still be easily accessible through the bellcrank inspection cover and would no longer require running the tubing through or around the bellcrank. Am I missing anything? Thanks.
