Dear Thread Friends, I'm at the point on the left wing of riveting on the bottom skins. Should I put the pitot mast on now or can it be installed after I paint and get it to the hanger ? Is there any reason why I could not defer until later ? best regards, Bill [quote][b]

I did the vans tubing fittings and tube type while working on the wings, changed to the mast type later during the
project, dynon type aoa , wished I would have done it before while I had better access, working under the wing
is not as much fun, but I would not do it after paint. get it done now..

Bill,
If you are going to put the mast into the bay where the tie down mount is,
it can be done later. I think it would be difficult but it can be done. I'm
just about to rivet the outboard aft bottom skin on
my left wing and I'm glad it's already installed. It was pretty easy to
intsall with the skin free. I did mount it one bay outboard of the tie down
and don't think that's possible as a "retrofit" after the skin is riveted
into place.

The real answer is if you are going Van's standard Pitot it is of little difference but if you go with a heated unit by all means do it now before you rivet on the skins

Al, thanks for the advise. My skin already has a big mast hole in the skin. I think I'll wait to mount it until I get it to the hanger, Bill
