List: 



There has been talk lately about where to put the static port for the 

airspeed.  I have been flying without a static port on my 701 and my 

airspeed is within 2 mph of the GPS.



 I recently installed 3 1/4" pop vents in my side window.  Today when I 

popped opened the vent, I did see a small 1 mph change in the airspeed 

indication.  This is close enough for me so I won't be worrying about 

installing a static port.  Of course I only have the basic steam gauge 

package from Zenith  and no VSI. 



FWIW

PS - My wife helped rivet the plane and now she is enjoying riding in it 

too.  So far though, she has not wanted to take the controls.
