Ron,
By the design of the static port on the XS a side slip has little effect on
the static like in many fuselage mounted static ports so the airspeed does
not jump around slipping right or left. Even on IFR aircraft I use the st
atic port but I also install a cabin alternate static when called for. As
I've said in other documents, in my experience the cockpit static is less t
han 2 knots and 25 feet from stall speed to cruise.
The best way to get exhaust smell into the cockpit is actually placing a ve
nt where shown on the side of the aircraft tunnel near the pilots knee. Mo
ve the air inlet up to near the bond line or leave the long tail pipe becau
se at speeds from 75 to 90 in a climb the exhaust comes right into mine due
to the short stack. I can even see a small amount of soot tracking from m
y exhaust pipe up over the wing and directly into my NACA. I am forced to
fly with my pilot side NACA vent closed all the time except at cruise. NAS
TY!

Mono exhaust with the 912/914 XS exhaust with the proper sized exhaust down
pipe seems to work fine avoiding any exhaust smell during pattern work and
side slips. The Jabiru and Classic aircraft exhaust is normally through t
he exit duct right down or nearly down the centerline and can enter the whe
el well. The Jabiru Trigear is not a problem. The 912 Classic with the ex
haust angled down and to the side seems to be OK also. At cruise there is
quite a bit of air that comes through the gear handle and brake during crui
se. But I have not seen the CO monitor ever alarm or smell exhaust. It ju
st gets cold on the hands at high cruise altitudes, but then again, I'm fro
m Florida. 72F is cold for me.
Hopefully, other mono owners will have other ideas on sealing the mono. A
small gap and a simple smoothing fairing around the wheel that laps the bel
ly would be enough I would think. However, one should use caution on insta
lling fairings on the gear as the fairing must not interfere with retractio
n or extension. I'd hate to fly in the winter with slush in my gear door f
reezing and locking my gear up. That's part of that 20,000 compromises we
make.
Regards,
Bud Yerly

Hi Bud Great info as always, thank you. Few more questions about slipping,
specifically on 914 Mono XS: Does airspeed work pretty good in both left an
d right side slips with airspeed/pitot in factory position? Mono with gear
and airbrake slots not covered, what's the best way to get exhaust into the
cockpit? As far as power setting, left or right slip? Ron P.
