Guys,  

   

Besides the problem I have with the radio interference, which I hopefully can solve in the next few weeks, I discovered during the regular inspection before flight a strange crack in the pitot tube, right at the wing.  

   

There is small crack around the tube which looks like it is completely broken through, I assume because of metal fatigue. It is right at the place where there are 4 screws in a 90 degree distance around the tube, i.e. the first ring of screws where the tube disappears in the wing.  

   

Speed indication is normal but I wonder: is there any body else who has experienced this on his or her YAK52 and how have you solved/repaired it…replacing it seems like a very difficult thing to do…..how to get into the wing??  

   

Thanks for any suggestions.
