It's 2 1/4 inches longer than the AN5812, and so sticks out a couple of inches in front of the leading edge. In the installation instructions Dynon recommend that the tip should be between 2 and 12 inches aft of the leading edge, which would mean I need to move the mount aft to outboard of the gear doors. This would be a pain, and would also result in a longer and circuitous route for the pitot and AOA plumbing, as would mounting it at the wingtip, etc... I don't believe I'm the first to retrofit an AOA probe, so does anyone have views or experience on whether it would function well aerodynamically?

Folks,
I was persuaded by the arguments cited on the List in favor of an AOA indicator and just received a Dynon AOA Pitot tube to replace the standard AN5812. It's 2 1/4 inches longer than the AN5812, and so sticks out a couple of inches in front of the leading edge. In the installation instructions Dynon recommend that the tip should be between 2 and 12 inches aft of the leading edge, which would mean I need to move the mount aft to outboard of the gear doors. This would be a pain, and would also result in a longer and circuitous route for the pitot and AOA plumbing, as would mounting it at the wingtip, etc...
 
I don't believe I'm the first to retrofit an AOA probe, so does anyone have views or experience on whether it would function well aerodynamically?
