Someplace where the sun can't shine on it and heat from the engine
can't flow over it. Maybe under the wing root?

Hi Bryan,
I placed my OAT at the outside edge of the belly angle, right side and
fed it thru the forward foot channel from the side.
The readings seem to match my thermometer at the hangar during run up.
At least it keeps the wires out of the way.

Another good spot I have used is the NACA duct for fresh air in the
cabin.

For mine, I was told that the underside of one wing, back about half of chord length would be the best place. If you go with a location on the fuselage try to keep it underneath where it will be in the shade. The bottom of the fuselage does get the exhaust stream so the wing is a better place.

Do not archive this either, but Piper seems to be intent on placing it up high right smack in the middle of the windshield - must be about the worst place I can think of ….

I am mounting mine in the NACA vent duct. I have seen numerous similar
installations on both certified and experimental aircraft.
