Default Pitot on access panel?

I know there's many threads on pitot's, but I need 1 simple answer please:

Can I install my unheated Dynon AOA pitot tube directly to the stall warning access panelon a -12? Will it be stiff enough?

Thanks in advance.

No it won’t be stiff enough.
Most people install pitot masts on the other RV models in a way that has them attached to the wing spar to some degree to assure it won’t be able to move.
