I could find nothing on this. I am planning to use the Dynon Heated AOA/Pitot tube. This is an AN5812 pitot tube, and how they are installed seems to vary a bunch. Some are near or even ahead of leading edge, others near max thickness of the wing. Some are on the order of 3” below the bottom skin, then there are some in the catalogs look like 10” down. Looking to figure out where the tip of the tube should be as far as % chord, angle relative to chord line, and how far below the wing it should be.

Any guidance, references, etc have value. Thanks for looking?
