I intend to install a AOA pitot on my MCR 01 in order to use the indication of angle of attack on my D10A. What is the best position of the tip of the pitot in accordance to the wing cord which is 31.5 inches ?
Thank you for your help

As far forward as you are willing to make it is best. If we could have you put it anywhere, it would be on a boom that's 10 feet in front of the plane, just like they do when they are flight testing new aircraft.

The farther back under the wing you get, the higher the chance you'll get some distortion.

Thank you, but I don't expect that my plane seems to be a knight of the middle age on his horse starting for a fight with a 10 feet spear. :)
