There are plenty of certified birds that have the pitot tube in a similar location,
so you shouldn't have any issues.

Well Malcolm, it's nice to hear from somebody that has all the answers. You
might want to brush up on your social skills and your spelling while your at
it.
You might need to be reminded that this site is for aviation enthusiasts
that have a common thread. We can all learn from each other. That's why we
take the time to peruse this site. No one appreciates or learns from moronic
comments like yours.

James,
Yes, the PVC cuts pretty easy, I used a dry file board with 180 grit to
rough off the ridges and blend, then moved to wet sanding with a long block
and progressively finer paper. One thing on the PVC when working it dry is
that it tends to pickup static and the filings will cling to everything.

Absolutely beautiful work Lloyd. Blending the two fairings together like
that is what I had in mind. I can guarantee however that I will not end up
with as nice of a finish but hopefully I can get the shapes similar. I am
assuming that the PVC is pretty easy to get a shape on with some medium sand
paper.
As far as the pitot, if I use the existing mounting hole in the wing the
face will end up about 4 inches below and 4 inches behind the leading edge
where the stock one is 4 inches below and even with the LE. I will see if I
can move it forward a little without causing too much trouble. I believe
that there should not be much error if it is a little behind the LE. It may
read a little high while at high AOAs but I am not normally looking at the
ASI at times like that anyway.

Anyone have experience installing Full Lotus 1650 floats on a Kitfox 5? I'm
confused by the original Sky Star installation document=2C especially the
inner spreader bar attach brackets.
