Have seen one h36 (can't remember sr no) but had a bad kink in think static could be pitot) at base of panel when tube starts togo back to tail.
I picked it up on a test flight. There is a method of finding where the restriction is and sorted it out and was perfect. It originally came from Italy and as you may or may not know Italians are supposed topay government tax if they or the glider does more than 10hours a, year. Naturally Italians donot write up their logbooks with correct hours or the reqister their glider in another country to avoid paying tax Ian McPhee +61 428847642 On Fri, 25 Aug. 2023, 2:59 pm Ric Sutton, <ricinthel...@outlook.com> wrote: > afternoon all > i had my altimeter out for repair recently and i thought while i was at it > i would get the vario zeroed at the same time (it has always read about > three quarters of a knot in lift even sitting in the hanger) i had a > friend reinstall the vario. however i noted that the vario was a bit > 'laggy'. on inspection i noted that my friend had connected the static that > was on the altimeter to the vario. when i reconnected the other static line > to the vario it appeared to function the way i remembered it. > does anyone know if there is a fixed orifice (restriction) in one of these > static lines or do i need to investigate further for wasp nests etc. And > further to, if one line is supposed to have a restriction in it, which > instrument does it go to. > thoughts? tips? suggestions? > keep well, play well, stay safe and be nice. > >
