The builders' manual suggests putting a water trap in the static system, but gives no details of what, where or how this should be done. The only reference I have found so far is on the ACS website ( http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/pitotstatic.php?clickkey=16839 75 ). My question to all of you who are already flying, is . 1. How important is it to have a water trap in the static system? 2. If you have balanced static ports Tee'd into one line through to the panel, is one required for each port, or should there be just one for the whole static system? 3. Is it best to use the commercially available trap, or is there a simpler way of doing it? 4. Should there be a similar system in the pitot line? Thanks in anticipation.
