Manfred,
With respect to the classic wing, this location of 52" ensures that you do
not need to penetrate the rib which is located just beyond this distance.

Manfred,
For what it's worth - my opinion.

Wing section at 70" has slightly lower angle of attack than wing section
at 52" and stalls a little later, but I think it will work perfectly
well. Actually, on new build the postion is at least 70" out on the wing
(past the flaps I remember) and in addition XS wing twist could be
greater than Classic wing twist (?).

At high angle of attack stagnation point (pressure = dynamic pressure)
moves to underside of wing. Somewhere just below leading edge pressure
drops to below static pressure.
Stagnation point: see attached.
Interesting book including stall warner explanation:

Must be just an installation aid - on new build the probe is nothing but
a 5052 aluminium tube.
Inside diameter 3 or 4 mm, 1 mm is enough. Will allow tuning the hole
position up/down somewhat later.
