TE probe for SGS2-33

[Rod Pool]

Interested in info on TE probe locations, type of probes etc for
install on a SGS 2-33. Probe location seems problematic on a 2-33.
Would a diaphragm be a better choice?

TIA

I'd recommend a homemade Nicks tube mounted with the
pitot/static cluster on the top of the nose. It would
be inexpensive, effective, and commensurate with the
prevailing aesthetic of the aircraft.

The angle of the factory pitot/static cluster means
that you wouldn't need the 20-degree bend normally
specified for the Nicks probe.

Here are links to two related articles:

You should be able to put the whole thing together
for about three dollars in parts.
