Unhappy

Ryan,
if I can chip in here - one arrangement we have looked at is a vane mounted on a longish (about one chord) probe sticking out of the wing leading edge, and far enough outboard to be well clear of the propwash. This works fine in wind tunnel tests, but would probably be very vunerable to handling damage on the ground.
