I posted this on VAF earlier in the week, but didn’t get much of a response.
At OSH, I bought the machined static ports from iflyrv10.com. These require a ½” hole in the skin for the port to fit in and have a barbed male connector on the back for the ¼” static line to press onto.
My plan has been to run ¼” tygon from each static port to a T-connector installed in the top of the tailcone. At that point, I would run forward toward the firewall.
The idea was to:
<![if !supportLists]>1) <![endif]>Keep an equal length of tubing between the static port and the T. So a slip with a little ram air on one side would balance out with the other.
<![if !supportLists]>2) <![endif]>Also to eliminate the possibility of getting water inside the static ports.
Then someone suggested that I could be setting myself up for condensation inside the static lines and that I should put the T on the left side and run the right port all the way over – before going forward.
Condensation just doesn’t sound like a very likely scenario to me. Even if the air was completely saturated and cooled to the dew point, I can’t see enough water collecting to cause a blockage. It would take several days of the same scenario to actually fill the tube.
Has anyone seen this before? How have you routed your static lines – most importantly why?

You are describing exactly what I did. FWIW, I think you’re talking about the Cleveland static ports.

Phil,
Mooney uses a very similar static setup, which initially was built with right side coming over to left to a tee then forward. They later changed to mounting the tee near the top of the fuselage to avoid water incursion from driving rain affecting both sides. What you are planning makes a lot more sense than losing the advantage of uphill runs to the Tee.
