G3X Pitot

Getting my wing kit tommorow and I was wondering for those that have gone the garmin route what kind of mounting solution did you implement for the pitot tube and i would appreciate an suggestions for location and best practices.

I ordered the purpose made access panel from this guy

(Now it provides a link to the guy who bought his business)

I put it in the right wing just AFT of the spar and well outboard of the aileron pushrod thingee (drawing a blank in the name…). Used a mast I purchased from Aircraft Spruce, Gretz I think. Worked out pretty easily. Haven’t flown yet, but the angle of incidence looks close to zero.

That's what I bought but I haven't installed it yet!

Its a very simple device and NOT brand specific. Don't overthink it. Here is a simple one that will work just fine in the Sonex recommended location. If you need convincing, Google Total and Static pressure.
