That is one reason we are digging into the system. We discovered the third tube to the left boom is electrical siring - presumably for the pitot heat. The previous owner had the outboard sections of the wings sealed off and converted into fuel tanks. As part of that conversion, apparently the wiring was fed through an aluminum tube which was then sealed to prevent fuel from getting to the wiring. We are not going to use the internal wing tanks and we are attempting to determine what is causing the issue with the pitot-static. Stan Sutterfield Port Orange, FL Hi Stan Not sure on three lines to left side. However, just a question to help narrow down the fault: Have you performed a pitot-static ground check on both sides? Were the results the same?

For example, during acceleration and climb the indicators lag behind the actual numbers. Then when established in a steady state situation, the airspeed and altimeter indicate exactly correct - as checked with an accompanying aircraft. The same lag occurs as the aircraft is slowing or descending. A ground pitot-static check indicates perfect with no leaks. Our research has found no blockage thus far of the lines from the booms to the fuselage. However, we found three lines attached to the left boom (right boom has two). Two of them are connected to the pitot and static lines. We are not sure where the third line goes. The maintenance diagrams show only two lines to the left boom. Does anyone have three lines to their left pitot-static boom? Does anyone know what the third line if for?

There must be a restriction in the lines somewhere. You have already elimin ated the possibility of leaks, and there is no blockage from the pitot tube t o the fuselage. In the standard configuration, the lines from both sides are fed to the sele ctor valve in the front cockpit, i was hoping to narrow the search for the r estriction by checking the response from the left pitot system, i.e. Slow re sponse from the left side as well would indicate a restriction downstream o f the selector, normal operation would have indicated a restriction between t he selector and the wing.... With that not possible, and in light of the left side being inoperative, i w ould start the search for a restriction around the selector. Presumably bot h front and rear cockpits are slow to indicate. If so, the fault ls before t he lines are divided between the 2 cockpits and instruments. , which brings u s back to the selector valve , or the tubing between the selector valve and t he water traps in the root of the wing. You say you found no restrictions from the pitot tube to the fuselage, presu mably you mean up to the water traps? That would be the easy, accessible pl ace to check. My gut feeling says its the selector valve...either not fully in position th erefore restricting the lines, or a bad bypass job. Keep us updated...i have family here for christmas but will try check the di agrams later...
