In fact, the unusual pitot-tube location—it peeks out from the center of the prop spinner—was chosen to reduce fuselage-to-wing connections. Like most homebuilts and many SLSAs, the RV-12 steers on the ground via differential braking, but the good-sized rudder does contribute if you have a bit of wind. A nuance, perhaps.

The 172 has a steerable nosewheel, much heavier than the rudders on my RV-9A with a castering nosewheel. Repairs included replacing the pitot tube/angle-of-attack sensor and the outside air temperature probe. Not really a problem, as the CFI and I had a great chat for an hour about things aeronautical.
