Static port

[Slyfox]

I was landing the other day and was doing so on the sod at my airport. I was coming in on 03 and when doing so there is a good bump on the runway. I came down, sun in front of me, I didn't look out front nore did I look at the indicators, I was looking out the left door, nice to have plexy all the way down by the way. I get 2ft off and start to flair, still to fast, hold it hold it hold it, it feeeeels right, NOW. NIce flair down I come nice, than I hit the bump, up we go, I continue to hold full aft stick, I'm back in the air, wwoooo hooooo this is fun, it settles back down nice and smooth. I'm down, coool. would like to do it again, but ... I have to go to work now.

Hi Tim -

Here is the Static System Installation Instructions supplement from Skystar. Maybe it will help... for reference if nothing else. Both my M-3 and 4-1200 are set up like this. FWIW, ASI in my M-3 w/ flat doors was pretty close. I haven't flown my M-4 w/ the bubble(?) (factory not LP Aero) doors yet, but I think Paul may have a good point. Will be interesting to see.

Regards,
Doug

P.S. Put up some pics in the N.E. fly-in thread!

My static port was installed to those specs. So it will most definitely be interesting if you get different results than what I did, especially when it sounds like our Model IV's are very similarly equipped.

I'll let you borrow my runway if you'd like ,.. north end elevation is 1100 ASL south end elevation is 625 ASL and its 700 foot long ,..trees on one side, power lines on the other but you have plenty of room it's about 45' wide between the top of the light poles to the limbs on the trees on the other side , oh forgot to mention,..there is a 250' abstruction on the south end( a slight rise in the ground )

Chase, I hope I saved you from bodily harm. Posting a photo of your wife by mistake could be hazardous. LOL!!! Tell her hi for me. Still enjoying the shirt she made for me. Please be more careful in the future. You can't run very fast anymore.
