Static ports

25 Jul 2004 Static ports

The Van’s static air kit is pretty simple, but rather elegant. The external ports are pop rivets that you just push out the mandrel, and glue into the fuselage with RTV. Van’s says to drill out the mandrel, but you can just tap it out with a hammer.

The whole kit, and the instructions.

About to slip the rivet in the hole.

Installed and looking good. Now, after the RTV cures, we can get in the fuselage and run the plastic tubing.
