I recommend you move it out to the first to the aileron bell crank area. Mounting in the wing root will have it read 3-4 degrees high.

For folks like me who put a real pitot mast under the wing for a heated pitot or AOA sensor pitot, that leaves an abandoned hole in the wing at the location for the Vans-plan stainless steel tube pitot. That hole is in a perfect location to be filled by the OAT sensor, that's where mine lives.
OAT inside of the wing root
Has anyone thought about putting the OAT probe up high on the vertical Stabilizer. Exposed on the outside just under where the rudder horn overlaps it. it is out of the slipstream yet still sensing air temp.
I am putting my ILS/NAV wiskers up there. Its a long wire run, but exposed to air and not in the slipstream or exhaust.
Regards.
