PITOT TUBE

As with the antennae, I wanted to make the Pitot removable from the wing to make it easier for storage.

The Pitot tube has 3 main sections, the female tube in the wing, the male attachment plug and the top part that is shaped like the Pitot tube on the real plane.

The dimensions of the Pitot tube and its location can be found in the Monforton book on page, 7.52.

Again I used Locktite Epoxy to hold the female tube to the inside of the wing.
