Yes have two static ports. One on each side of fuselage about 6" behind
doors.

I have one located ahead of the pilot door between the hinges (side opening doors)
Without this port connected results in a 7 knots increase indicated at cruise. The GPS agrees with the external port. There is some error on sideslip obviously that would be better with 2 ports; I just did it the way Cessna did it on the 150.

I put in two static ports on the fuselage sides near the tail. I used A5 rivets in place of A4 rivets in the vertical L angles, then popped out the stem and hooked up plastic tubing to the inside of the rivets. Works fine and reasonably accurate.

A while back I ordered a pitot tube from ZAC. They provided a pitot and static port unit which I believe is standard on the 601. I'm not sure how accurate the static port position is since I'm not flying yet.
This isn't a great photo. If you need others, let me know and I'll snap a few more next time I'm at the hangar.

Tracy,
I had lots of problems with the placement of my 701 static port. First I put
it inside in the wing above the pitot tube. At high angles of attack, the
airspeed read way low, probably because air was being forced into the root
of the wing in this attitude. It was uncomfortable landing with an indicated
airspeed near zero, so I just disconnected the static air line under the
panel, but it still read a little low at high attack angles. Then I put the
static air intake on both sides under the doors. This was a little better,
but still about 5-mph low at slow speeds. Finally I moved about a foot
behind the doors and am getting good readings.
Guess I should have asked the guys on this list beforehand as you are doing
Tracy.
Rgds,
Les
