Has anyone put static ports on the sides of the fuselage on a Onex? If so how did it work? And if so, where did you put them?

Thanks.

Reinhard Metz did an article in Kitplanes a while back.

Thanks for your help.

When I installed my Dynon AOA pitot tube, I tried Dynon Static Ports a couple of different locations on the fuselage and nothing worked. Probably didn't get far enough aft. Ended up leaving the Sonex supplied pitot static tube under the wing and used the static portion only. So I have two things hanging on the bottom of my wing.

Any chance you have this as a PDF?

Here it is.

Very cool. Where is Graham when you need him?

Back when I was researching static ports, I read that article. I wasn't going to go though all the testing, so I took my best shot at locating it similar to where it was on the RVs I've built. I had previously tried it on the pitot/static tube, and open in the wing, and cockpit. This works at least as well as those, but at some point you lose the ability to really prove if it's exactly right. Obviously there's one on each side tied together. Bottom line, no guarantees on this location :-)

Thanks for showing the picture and telling your experience.
