I am building Cassutt, and i want to build pitot tube under the wing. Mostly these are in a wing leading edge, but that assembly will be too vulnerable because most bystanders don´t notice it before too late.

I want to build it close to the LE, just underneath it, and my question is: How much i need to keep clearance for wing surface to keep it out of disturbance of compressing air at LE?

I really don´t want to hang it too low, these ones like Cessna look like dirty launder hangers...
