Brief Description:  Pitot Tube Mount

Made the mount for the pitot tube. Looked at the mounts from Safeair and Gretz. Really liked them both but really wanted a stainless pitot tube so bought the one from Falcon Gage and made my own mount. The base is 4" x 3 7/8 x .040 2320 t3. The joggle was easier to make than I thought it would be. Needed to also make a spacing shim from .025 2320t3.
The skin plus the spacer ensure that the mount plate for the pitot tube is flush with the bottom skin.
