Kyle, You will absolutely need to get the pitot/static out of the prop wash. Your airspeed indications will definitely be affected. Move then as close to the end of the stub wing as possible or better yet, put them in the outboard wing.

Does anyone have experience or any theories on this? I'd rather fix it right away if that's what has to be done. Thanks!
