|
Putting a static port in wing near pitot is no longer an option. I would kind of like to put a threaded backing plate somewhere with hose attached and then screw the port after fabric placement. What size hole is the port opening drilled at if I must make my own? Would attaching the port to the back of the door frame at the junction of the stringer work? That would be easy and easier to get to at a later date, possible one on each side. [quote][b]

the placement of the static port involves more than the supporting of the material used. I understand that some effort was expended in locating the port on the airframe of the Series IV where it would be least affected by changing air pressures. The location selected is detailed in the plans for the static port assembly from the factory and is located ahead of and below the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer.
the most harrowing flight I have had in my 'Fox was the day that I disconnect the static line at the panel so that I was sensing cabin environment. The instruments were not showing any of the numbers I was accustomed to and I finally abandoned all referrence to instuments and landed by the seat of my pants. I guess that I could have flown a complete new stall profile with the new numbers but I wanted to get on the ground. "Get there syndrome", maybe so....
