Has anyone installed a Dynon pitot in Van's pitot location? Dynon says it will work there just fine, but I'm curious about how others have plumbed it so that the connections between the dynon pitot and tubing to the fuselage is accessible and servicable in the future (there's no inspection panel at that location, at least on the -9). Any examples? Thanks.

I placed mine just about 6 inches outboard of the inspection plate.
Hopefully you don't have the skins on as yet, if so I'd attempt to incorporate the pitot as part of the plate. Hopoe this helps,
