While reviewing my aft fuse section in prep for riviting the center and forward sections together, I realized that I installed my SafeAir Static Ports farther aft than Van's plans indicate for a -7a. Mine are installed just forward of the F-710 bulkhead rather than the F-708 bulkhead or about 26" aft of the plans spec. Since both ports will be under the leading edges of the horizontal stab, should I bite the bullet and move them to the spec location or leave them and see how it affects the IAS and other static sensative instruments? Any advice would be appreciated.
