hi Folks!!
Just 10 min ago i think i did a major screw up!!
I was about installing the static port from Safe Air and just thought i knew how it works when..............
I drilled a 1/2" hole in the side skin of my Fuselage.........
It even says in the manual to drill a 1/4" whole, but somehow i thought i know better.
What shall i do know?
Option 1: Patch the hole from the inside, fill it up with filler, sand it and install the static port an inch up the Fuselage?
Option 2: Install the static port from the outside (cessna style like) and leave it as it is?
Option 3: other suggestions are more than welcome!
Anyone who maybe was in the same situation and now has experience with the system flying considering instrument readings???
i already read a few static port threads and it looks like there are RV?s out there with the static port put on the outside.
in deep anguish...
