>I have my pitot and static currently mounted about 3" below the left wing and above but in line with the outer tyre edge of the main wheel leaving about 7 inches of clearance or less when I put on the spats. >Regards John ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My pitot/static is pretty much "plans" design. I mounted mine in the lead edge area of the left outer wing panel just forward of the spar and it seems to perform o.k. I made my last flight with a set of C-150 wheel pants installed. They came within about three inches of the P/S tubes and did not seem to change my readings at all. If you're wondering how the geometry on that can be, I have an 8 foot wide main gear track. My mains are very nearly under the wing attach point. I have extra length tubing so I can hook it up when attaching the wing and the extra length just coils in the wing. The unit is located so that the lead edge of the tubes are still behind the lead edge of the wing to lessen the chance of getting damaged on the ground. Good luck.
