Mine is a dual tube. one for static and one for airspeed. It extends below the wing and bends 90° forward into the airstream. I located it mid wing on the left outer wing panel. It works perfect.

I started out using the 1/4" tubing called out in the plans and hanging below the wing. That one was the worst by far, but that may be because it was situated between the wing and the tire. I then tried mounting a pair of ports on the aft fuselage and joined by a tee, but that one still wasn't quite accurate. Then I moved them forward to about half way between the firewall and the front spar, again joined with a tee, and that location gives me perfect agreement between "corrected" indicated airspeed and GPS speeds. Oh, and I've also tested cockpit as ambient static port, and that's off quite a bit also. Mark Langford N56ML "at" hiwaay.net website at http://www.N56ML.com

Look here, about 3/4 down the thumbs: http://krbuilder.org/CockpitWork/index.html And, if you look on the home page, http://krbuilder.org/ You will see a full side pic of the Black Bird. Look aft about on the same line as the plane's name, and a little left and down from the N-number, and you will see where it is located. This is a KR2, not a 2S. It has proven to work, checking airspeed against ground speed on the GPS and comparing speed to a plane flying along side. I copied this from my first KR, which also worked well. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2010 - KR Gathering in Richmond, Ky - I39 There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun.

Hi Everyone, The question I have is,Where is the best location for the pitot static port? I do understand that it will make a deference because every kr is not shaped the same,but just a general location would with the plumbing. Robert Pesak Hermitage, Tn. http://photobucket.com/robertskrs
