MY set of plans says "the best and least complicated position for the pitot tube is at the very outboard end of the stub wing. you may mount the tube below the wing or through the leading edge". The stub wing is the center one that runs through the fuselage, not the "outboard" wing, so if you mount it where the plans call for, you won't have to disconnect it when you remove the wings. Mine is (gulp), exactly per the plans (see http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/pitot_tube.jpg ). There is some concern that propwash might interfere, but the prop arc is 16 inches away, laterally. Hopefully, at speed, that'll be enough. I've seen plenty more just like it, and have heard no complaints...
