Don't us the naca. I have a 10 deg difference between it and the one on
the wing root filler skin. Randy

Some place that engine heat can't affect it. That generally exculdes
most locations below the windshield and along the fuselage or wing
root much inside of the wheels. Many planes put it on an inspection
plate outboard of the main gear.

I'm with Kelly....get the OAT probe out away from the
fuselage far enough to get rid of any exhaust/engine effects.
I've flown inside open cockpit planes and there is a definite
zone of warmer air near the fuselage. Even if you can only
get out a couple feet, you'll be lots better. I went out
and put it in the bottom wing skin just next to one of
the wing access panels. That makes it accessible to hook
up and replace later too.

I was thinking of mounting the OAT probe on the bottom of the wing tip. What do you think?

Why not mount it on the inside of the bottom wing skin? Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat. No need to expose to outside air. No drag and no source of heat.
Any reason why that should not work?

Why is there no source of heat?....it would be heated by the exhaust
and engine heat just like the rest of the airframe.
That wingtip area is good, as long as you're on the bottom. As long
as you get it out on the wing a few feet though, you're doing great.
If you want to mount it on or near the fuselage though, you may
as well save on wire and just hook it up under the panel. (j/k)

I am sure the inside of the wing at least warms up in direct sunlight. I
would think the probe should be out in clear, shaded air.
