Hi Kevin
I have a Dynon D10A and want to fool with the AOA. I made a Home Grown
probe that looks like it came from the Europa Factory (third leg) I
haven't flown with it yet. Until I get some time on the bird, I
didn't want to try a new position for the static and pitot. Thus my
plan is to leave everything in the factory position including the AOA. I
will try calibrating and see if the AOA gives any meaningful
information.
I made provisions that will allow me to easily move everything (Pitot,
Static and AOA) to the front cover. Look through all the pics as I
describe everything and my thinking in detail.

See:
Homegrown AOA for Dynon D-10A. Plan "A", "B" and now
"C / D".
The "Taco" approach as I describe to making the inside cover
flange for the front cover will work just as easy on completed wings.
Since your top panels are already bonded on, making 3 aluminium tubes
permanently mounted would be difficult, but I think with not too much
effort you could run Tygon tubing forward. Find someone with small arms
to help out! Run by Bud if it would be OK to drill a hole or holes
through spar to run the tubing up forward.
Good Luck
