One possible place is inside the fwd part the of main gear wheel well, unless you generally fly inverted.  Another is the fuselage filet with the probe sticking out into the area forward of the flap and under cover of the wing TE skin (there you would also have room to add additional covering to avoid the sun coming in through the gap).  If the probe is mounted through the fuselage, you should insulate the incoming wires for about a foot as the warmth from the cockpit can be conducted by the wires and that can result in false readings.

For those of you with an AHARS unit used with a glass panel, where 
are you locating your OAT probe?  I have a Dynon Skyview and it says 
do not locate the probe in the sun which rules out the top of the 
fuselage, in the vicinity of engine heat which rules out the bottom 
(exhaust) or exposed to cabin heat at the rear of the probe which 
nixes the clever idea I saw one dude use by mounting the probe in the 
cabin air NACA inlet.  Now I don't have a clue.  Any input appreciated.
