"Some questions:
 
Do the pitot need to be inserted as show on the last comment image, or can they be mounted on the wood?
Is their position important for the measures? can they be placed further back on the plane?"

"Excellent mod! we were just planning to equip our easystar this week with all ardupilot board, and this design will greatly help us to make it easier (current opening is way too small, and cables are too messy to git everything in)."

Alexandre Girard replied to Alexandre Girard's discussion ArduIMU FTDI Firmware upload problem
"Hi Dhiraj,

Good luck,

Alex"
