"a small inline fuel filter to try and prevent any moisture or insects"
You can call me cautious Clara if you like, but I see a small problem with
the design of a system which uses a fiber filtration product with the hope
that it might trap moisture. Moisture and dust will create mud which does
my filters (one in static line and one in pitot line) are just behind my
instruments and should never see moisture.
The filters don't effect calibration, tried and proven for many years our club
gliders. We change them every year, at a few of dollars each, no problems.
I've never seen any evid
Mark seems to have a plan for getting his ASI calibrated and for getting the
pitot-static system ironed out, but for anyone who wants to fiddle with
actual calibration of their airspeed indicator (on the ground, not using GPS
or timed distances), there is a fairly simple method using plastic tub
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 t

Troy said he has his static line running up high, across the crossmembers in
the back of the fuselage, and then it tees off and goes down hill to the
static port. Although w

As an old military mechanic we used to place tape over the pitot and static
system during aircraft washes. As the plane was turned over to the mechanic
for wash, the status of the plane was changed to grou
Your right, it can be a problem, you just have to make sure that it's part of
your preflight inspection.

No, short of plumbing flow-thru desiccant cartridges into the pitot/static
lines.
Military A/C generally have "T" fittings at all the low points with the base
