Subject: Re: [rebel-builders] Static port
C-172s and other TC airplanes typically have two static ports: one on
the outside, and one inside the cabin with a valve to select one or
the other. The outside static port is used for normal operation. If
the outside port becomes fouled (by ice, for example) the inside port
can be selected. The Cessna 172 manual warns that the inside port is
not as accurate as the outside port.

I have vented my static pick up to inside the cabin and it
reads wrong. I have vents for cooling air into the cockpit.
When I open the vents I read 400 to 500 feet lower than
with the vents closed. I am not sure whether the cockpit is
a bit pressurized, either negatively or positively.
As a result, I have purchased a static port and will be
installing it soon about 1/3 of the way back on the tail
cone. Will try and remember to send the results.

Subject: [rebel-builders] Static port
Hello All
I have read everything in the archives about the location of the
static port
on the Rebel. The only thing everybody seams to agree on is to vent it
inside the cabin. I am not to sure how well that would go over with
the
people who will do the initial and subsequent bi-annual inspection
for my
mode "C" transponder? What if I plumbed all the flight instruments
and the
encoder together and ran the static line outside and a couple of
feet up in
to the left side lift strut with a vented plug in the end? I know of a
couple aircraft that do just that. Would that make a difference?
Anybody
tried that?
