Europa-List: Alignment of pitot tube

Hi all,

Im installing a heated pitot tube on my Classic wing. Im trying to determine how
I should align the tube to the airflow. I would have assumed that the pitot
tube be pointing directly into the airflow but since the wings have a 2.5 deg
angle of incidence, I would need to make allowance for that when installing it.


Ive been advised by other sources that the pitot tube should be aligned to the
chord of the wing. 

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
