I misspoke. The unit I have is the Sport not the Pro version where you have to
install pressure ports in the bottom and top of the wing somewhere between 15
to 40% of the wing chord. My question was where along the wing, outside the
prop wash area, is the best place. Is there a problem with being to close to
the wingtip or a fuel cap, does surface with rivets pose an issue? Those are
the questions I have.
