Measuring airspeed is really useful (mandatory) if you'd like to tune plane perfectly for auto missions.

Solved in ede11e9. The wings have the shaft for the tube defined, assuming 4mm diameter and some allowance for the bend static-port nipple when inserting the assembly. The tube is angled 3 degrees down to correspond to the lower side of the airspeed range. The winglet GPS pocket removal includes a space for the pitot pressure sensor; the pressure sense lines are routed from the pitot probe pocket in the wing to the pressure sensor at the winglet.
