Good Morning Al, I really don't care which is which, why are excuses put forth rather than just remedy it? Take a look at AFY that's the way it should be! My DOT inspector who was also a personal friend mentioned this to me that is was not going to work right, but I told him I wanted to try it anyway and he was right, you see the wing splits the slip stream and this is what causes it, dead air in front of the leading edge. Static and pitot should be together like AFY to minimize error, is you put the static in the fuse/cockpit you will always have a undetermined differential, unless you have the proper testing equipment. Your on your own! Adrian
