I've got a friend with an RV6 who has his AutoPilot using cabin static pressure to stop the altitude hunting caused by outside static lag. His set altitude compared to altimeter readings are so close as to make one wonder if outside static is needed at all in our Experimental Aircraft given the variations caused by different vents and leaks etc Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=394444#394444 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:11:22 AM PST US From: "Dave Bowman" Subject: RV10-List: Desser Tire Package I bought the Desser retread tire and leak guard tube package and it appears that the tubes are a little too big and wrinkle around the wheel. Has anyone who has used these tubes had any issues with them? I am hesitant to use them at this point. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:28:23 AM PST US From: "Carl Froehlich" Subject: RE: RV10-List: Re: static port Sorry - I didn't explain well. The round rivet head sits on the outside of the skin (3/16" hole in the skin). The 1" diameter, 1/4" thick backing plate (with a 3/16" hole in the middle) is epoxied over the rivet shank to the inside of the skin. The protruding rivet head moves the static port just a little out of the skin flow layer - this is what helps mitigate against static port error. The backing plate just adds some rigidity to the install and more glue area for the rivet. This provides a sturdy connection to the 1/4" static tubing. The 3/16" rivet shack is a perfect fit for 1/4" tubing to slide over. I did final paint over the rivet heads with a toothpick in the 1/16" holes to keep them open.

Maybe 50 feet? I forget if it climbs or descends. I can move it up and down a little by opening/closing the air vents.

Never a problem. Powder the tire inside, then inflate just slightly before seating the rim halves, you should still be able to slide the tube enough to line the valve stem up with the red dot marked on the tire. The tube will be nice and round. It may need some time after being folded in shipping. Don't inflate the tube outside of the tire or it may expand too much. Good luck! Stephen G.
