REFLECTOR: Static port stuff

[LAURA WALKER]

Just wanted to thank everyone for their excellent input on my pitot/static situation. I tried the low altitude test at 200 kts over the airport, and sure enough, my altimeter read almost 400 feet high. I have since added three layers of metal tape behind the port, but have not had a chance to go up and test the change.

The good news is that I now have 40.1 hrs on 36 Lost Vacations, so I am all set to get it down to my home field at EYE this weekend. I have been doing my Phase 1 testing at TYQ, and can't say enough good things about Dan Montgomery and all the excellent staff at Montgomery Aviation. If you are in the Indianapolis area, you will find a welcome like few others at this airport. They are now well-versed in Canardness, and can speak pitch-buck and flapless aviation with the best of them. 

I'll post my static change results as soon as I find out myself.
