I'm getting ready to close the left wing and will install the SafeAir Pitot Mast. I've noticed many builders use a small piece of angle to integrate the mast to a neighboring rib for more stability.
I had to move this mast one rivet hole to the outboard side to center the flange. This negates the angle reinforcement idea since I'm now too far from the rib.
Any concerns if I just install the mast as-is for stability and possible skin cracking? Anyone else not using angle?
Thanks!
