I bought the vans static kit, cant remember the part number. But once I looked at it I went to ACS and bought a proper port. I was really not impressed with the Vans port.
Keep that in mind if you have airspeed calibration problems....I bought the vans static kit, cant remember the part number. But once I looked at it I went to ACS and bought a proper port. I was really not impressed with the Vans port.
On the Van's site, I can find there Static port kit, but I cannot find just a reference to the static port pop rivets. Are these just LP4 pop rivets with the center drilled out, or something different?
Thanks,

Keep that in mind if you have airspeed calibration problems....
That is part of the challenge with educating the RV masses.....
There is probably a lot of RV's now flying with error ( because of an incorrect port shape) and the owners have never tested to a level of detail that they know it.
Nice work, but total overkill.

Here's an industrialized version of Van's pulled rivet port:

Yes Bevan. Enlargement hole with 1/8 bit. This matches the baffle pop rivet shank nicely. Dremel safe air head flush with skin. Pro seal on inside of rivet head around shank and insert.
Spoken like someone that has yet to have the opportunity to slither into an RV-4 tail cone and replace some rotten rubber hose!
