Dynon skyview pitot tube

I'm just ordering the RV-12 wing kit and wonder if Van's is going to offer the dynon pitot with AOA probe for the skyview panel. I would seem a shame to
have the AOA capabilty on the skyview display and not take advantage of it.
I do understand that it would involve two flexible lines probably from the wing
in order to make the system work. Since I don't plan on removing the wings
on a regular basis I don't think it would be a problem.
If Van's doesn't offer this option I can't imagine an inspector that would know the difference.
 
I cannot speak to the skills of inspectors, but it would be easy to do AFTER the inspection. Since I will not have the option of a spinner pitot with the Viking engine, I took advantage of my pitot relocation and bought a Dynon Pitot/AOA to mount on the wing. I never had an AOA before, but like you, did not want to waste that function of the Skyview.
