Not in my airplane. In my airplane the aft fuselage seems to be of
higher pressure than the cockpit. I installed a vent in the D-panel
with the intention to let the air out, but it is blowing into the
cockpit instead! I have no idea where the air is leaving again as
every opening in the cockpit seems to be blowing inward (and yes my
doors are sealed with a center pin arrangement). Also I don't
understand why the aft fuselage is pressurised. The main openings in
the aft fuselage are the tailplane drive slots but it looks to me they
are in a low pressure area. The slots for the flap drive are covered
by the wing root fairings so they are normally sealed in flight. The
only other openings are the small openings for the rudder cable and
one small opening in the sternpost for the rudder drive rod.

I have used this equipment to plumb my entire pitot/static system.
Only for the wing to fuselage connection I use the "official" quick
(dis)connect fittings. I agree that it is great stuff.
