Default Proper Way to Insert Multi-Probe



Ah Ha! Oriented UP!



Of course it goes up - it's more virile.

Aside from virility raising the sensing point by another 6 inches gets it further above the turbulence coming off the wing root, especially at low speed and high angle of attack.
Also less likely to catch it when removing the tail dolly.

This may be a silly question, but isn’t there only one way for it to be oriented correctly for the ports to line up properly?

No, the O-rings seal sections of the tube in the fin, the ports in the probe just empty into that section.
