Thanks ChrisI also have the static source open inside the cockpit since the 
plans location was poor but wanted to get it back to a more conventional spot 
.My stall is 53mph IAS and cruise around 125 mph IAS with the 2180 VW and 52x48 
Prince P-tip  prop.
I believe you are running a Corvair?Chris

I started with the stock position: stalled at 40 with a 200 mph max airspeed
Tried side ports even with the panel: stalled at 75 and went like 160
I've been flying with the static inside the cockpit ever since. It is with 5mph 
of true. 67 mph stall and 175 cruise.

Wondering what most KR builders have done for pitot /static probe mounting 
locations.

Specifically the static source as per the plans (upper tube for pitot and lower 
for static) built option has been poor .
Turbulence and air flow over the wing and wheel pant cause unstable vertical 
speed fluctuations.

Looking to change my static source to the side of the fuselage like a Cessna or 
something else. 

Any thoughts or ideas on this ?

Thanks
