After studying the drawing 28 (RV7) numerous times to determine the exact location to drill in fuse skin, I ended up measuring and drilling referencing the wrong fuse bulkhead. So, I call Van?s this morning and they say no big deal. Can?t tell me if it will affect the static system or not. In other words I won?t know if I get wrong input from static port until flying. My static port will be approximately 2 feet forward of where Van?s calls out the proper hole location.
Has anyone out there done this and have any ill effects with the static system?
I can drill new holes in correct location and ?fill in? the wrong 1/4? hole now or just roll the dice and hope all works well.
Lots of aircraft I?ve flown have a more forward static port, but Van?s must?ve put it that far aft for a reason. Open to all opinions.
