Put a socket in the fin of the trailer in the same place as on the
glider. Prevent insect and dirt ingestion using caps with "remove
before flight" streamers. Put an owl on top of the trailer fin to
discourage birds from perching on the probe.

If you think that would attract too much attention just poke the ends
into short lengths of vinyl tubing and pop rivet the tubing in a
convenient place inside the trailer lid.
