REFLECTOR: Pitot tube mount.

[Jim Sower]

Do you really need a certified pitot tube?  The Cozy and EZ folks have a 
number if really nice installations using 1/4" or 5/16" Al tubing.  Some 
have a flush mounted receiver flush with the nose that they screw in a 
little probe on preflight I think that looks a lot snarkier than "store 
bought" too.
$117 and up seems a lot of bucks for damned little benefit ... Jim S.
