Does anyone who is building or flying the 601XL have the Angle of Attack system from Advanced Flight Systems? I'm getting ready to install it, and would appreciate hearing thoughts on port location.

Are you worried about the distance fore/aft distance from the leading edge or from the wing tip or both? AFS's install manual gives some guidance on cord distance. I have embedded 5 pictures of the right wing of Mike Sigman’s 601XL (N7092N). Basically he placed the probes forward (but close to) the spar and outside (but close to) the outmost nose rib. Just don’t forget to offset the upper and lower probes so they don’t hit when you close the wing J.

My reading indicates that the placement is not extremely critical and that the calibration can accommodated a range of placements.

If the pictures don’t make it through let me know and I’ll mail them to you direct.
