And is there any known way to prevent water ingress / moisture ingress
into the pitot and static lines?
(I like the word "static line". It brings back fond memories of military
jumps! ;-) )

Objet : Re: KR> airspeed calibration
I couldn't agree more with this statement. We recently went through this
with our club gliders. Someone thought that it was a good idea to use low
pressure air to blow the water out of the static systems, not!
Static lines were blow apart in several difficult to impossible to get to
places in the gliders and water was forced into several instrument
systems. You never really know whats in the line and the repairs can be
really expensive, so be careful.
