A certain line of Spam Cans uses a 1/4" aluminum tube
running the full length of the wing, then attaches the pitot
tube at the outer end of the wing with a short length of
Tygon(tm) or similar hose. No propwash, landing gear,
blanking in a slip, etc. concerns at all.
Simply remove the plastic/f'glas wingtip to access the pitot
tube installation, especially handy when the local mud-
daubers have Homesteaded on the one day you forgot to
put on the pitot cover.
