I fabricated a short piece of angle to tie the pitot tube mount to the adjacent wing rib. Positioning this required putting the pitot mount and bottom wing skin in place so that the piece of angle could be clamped to the rib. After removing the mount and bottom skin, the angle could be drilled to the rib.
Below the large push tube, you can see one of my experiments in keeping the pitot and AOA tubing away from the push tube. I’m not going with this arrangement, but I’ll post something in a few days about how I’m handling this.
Here it is with the mount back in place. This bit of angle adds considerable rigidity to the mount.
