Unsure if strobe output will cause any trouble or not. I put my OAT in the NACA inlet back in a ways where it can't be seen from the outside. Installation was a snap and wiring was very easy to say the least and no problems in 7 years.
I tried mounting my OAT sticking out the bottom of the wing root faring and have never had very accurate readings (GRT EIS). I plan to move it during my annual this spring and was thinking putting it through the aileron inspection plate under the left wing. How is the readings in the NACA inlet if you have it tucked in aways? Is it far enough in so as to not get any direct sun light? Does cabin head affect it in cooler weather? What type of OAT is it and how did you mount it?
Thanks
Try putting it inside the wing root fairing instead of outside. I have mine there and believe it is very accurate as I have a second one in a different location and they read the same or at most 1 dF different.
Bavafa, How did you mount it inside the wing root? Is that hard to do on a completed RV6A?

A simple "L" shape bracket that gets mounted to the front mount/bolt of the tank bracket holds the probe. The wire runs alongside of the wire that is for my fuel level.
I believe it reads very accurately.
Hope this helps.
