I'm posting this as a new thread so as to not hijack the current thread about possible statib error in an RV-7.
I bought a flying RV-6A several years back. I've always been somewhat concerned that the static port was not in the suggested Van's location (which has substantial data by now that says 'good location').
This plane has the inexpensive dual tube (one is pitot, other is static) arrangement mounted on the left wing.
Does anyone have any real use data that would say this is static pressure neutral, high or low?
Thanks,
GH
