Chris,
Check your static probe under the wing still has the black =9Cplug
=9D in place , can get knocked of easily, result is ineffective asi ... ( yo
u need a pressure differential and this effectively cancels it out ) ..sympt
om is taxi test that shows extreme asi lag ..
disconnecting static line restores asi ... ( removes the balancing air strea
m ) ...
Slight air leaks in asi feed do not create the same ( massive ) effect.
The actual flow when you try to blow through is also relatively high resista
nce in normal operation .

> Evening All, I am preparing a UK built (2007) Europa XS tri-gear which I p
urchased last year for a permit check flight. The aircraft has not flown for
7 years. I believe I have a leak in the pitot tube system. Pitot and static
lines passing through the fuselage to the instrument panel seem to be made
of semi-opaque hard plastic tubing approx 7.5mm OD and use 'push-fit' conne
ctors. An adaptor connects the push-fit connector to standard ?6mm flexible c
lear tubing to the flight instruments.
> Is this a typical arrangement in Europas and where would I source the larg
er tubing and push-fit connectors? Many thanks, Chris
