Put an o-ring on the static pressure line, and adjust it fore and aft to get a correct reading. Then make a metal ring and glue it in place as you tune it in. You can get a range of corrections. When you get the static pressure right, it will also make the altimeter accurate.

It seem to be accurate at the low end also as the KR lifts off just above 50mph indicated. I have a bit of extra length on the hoses and when installing the outer wing panel I run the hoses into the outer wing and out the mounting hole. With wing attached I stuff the hose as far as they will go into the 1/4" pitot/static tubes, stick the extra hose back into the wing and attach the pitot/static tubes.
