I had some fluctuations at low speed (<60 kts) using a double-sided static takeoff on the tail as there is turbulent airflow off the wing at high AOA. It was acceptable, but using the static with the pitot has been better. It needs to be far enough out on the wing to avoid turbulent flow from other airframe parts.
