My RV-8 has the stock Van's pitot tube bent forward installed under the wing. It looks like this one

I want to add an unheated AOA pitot tube to my Dynon D-180 system. I found 2 pitot tube types, one looks like mine
http://dynonstore.com/#!/AOA-Pitot-Boom-Probe-unheated/p/52526429/category=13788239
but it has to be installed horizontally so the air goes into the tip like any pitot so do I have to bend this or is this type used for mounting it coming out in front of the wing, how does this one get mounted?
The other Dynon AOA pitot looks like a traditional Cessna pitot tube

and this one says you need an additional mount. Dynon sells one and I also found the GRETZ mount

So has anyone replaced a previously installed Van's pitot with one of these Dynon AOA pitots?
