Default TE probe?

Anyone have any ideas why the TE probe is on the left tip of the horizontal stab of the just announced JS-1 EVO.

So they could add a few more potential leak points in the line?

Maybe Jet Blast? Is thrust offset to the right?

Perspective?
Having additional connections that will eventually leak is the big advantage.

Interesting. Do you have a link to the photo you have seen?

Thanks,

No tailwheel visible. Comp number goes awfully far forward on the vertical. Looks a lot like an "assembled" picture.

1)Further from the stuff that goes on at the wing root.
2)One flying surface at the tail affecting the pressure field instead of two.
3) Adding complexity for the heck of it
4) Avoiding engine wash
5) Messin' with your mind

Maybe they have a stake in LXNav or another vario manufacturer that makes equipment compatible with electronic T.E. that only requires pitot-static to work:-)

For those with Facebook access there's a good picture of the probes on the Aussie's WGC page.

Don't think that probes in that tailplane location would survive
long on a typical gliding airfield.
