Side-mount heated AOA pitot?

[BigBaaadBob]

On a lot of aircraft, it is better to mount the pitot on the side of the fuselage.  Can the Dynon heated AOA probe be mounted this way?  If not, there's a feature request.

Like others, I'd like the probe to have options for static ports also.

Mounting the probe on the side of the fuselage will meaning losing the angle of attack (AOA) function since that works in a vertical plane. It could still work if you mounted it on the bottom of the fuselage in a pusher. I was considering this option for canard aircraft.

Mounting it on the side of the fuselage would NOT work on anything other than a pusher or any other plane with the engine not in the nose of the fuselage. Otherwise, the probe would be influenced by the prop.
