Ed,
I'd be real happy with that error. Today I made a static probe and mounted it under the wing like the pitot probe. It has 8 holes, 1/16" diameter. They are in pairs about 1/4" apart, and each pair is 90 degrees off the last pair. (Confused yet?) It is a removable probe so that I can try different versions until I find the best. This one is blunt-nosed (courtesy of J-B Kwik).
This version reduced the altimeter error to 50-70 ft high and the indicated to around 7 KTs too high.
Not sure what to try for the next version.

Just for the record, when I did my GPS triangulation Airspeed check, my indicated airspeed was 3 MPH high at around 190mph and within one MPH at 120 MPH. I never checked out the stall speed, but it seems within 2-3 MPH.
