I have a RV7 quick build that i have been flying for 5 yrs. I installed a inexpensive stainless steel pitot tube during the build. I now want to install the unheated AOA/Pitot Probe. Is it possible to install this with a finished wing?

Yes and quite easily done. I have done it on a number of RVs by using the inspection panel to mount the pitot mast onto. There are several pitot masts available. I think you will be able to get a Gretz mast over there. It is also good to use a doubler plate. Just be careful of how you bend the two thin alu tubings coming out of the pitot tube and make sure you do not snag the aileron bell crank.

Thanks Janekom, there are 2 press lines leaving the probe. I assume both go the Adahrs.

Did you read the Installation Manual? Also has cautions on drilling and tapping the holes to match the mount, etc.
