It flew perfectly stable during today's test flight. My main static port is located on the pitot tube which is connected to a manifold just inside the fuselage next to the pilots leg. Static instruments, AOA, and autopilot pressure transducer are all connected to this manifold. I installed two dedicated static ports just for the autopilot pressure transducer. These new Ports are located At the position recommended by the factory for the main static ports just aft of the baggage door. The second port was placed on the other side of the fuselage. The altitude hold worked perfectly, even in some choppy air. Problem solved. Thanks Skip Skip Long N47SL, HWD (650) 578-9167 FAX 576-9153 mailto:skiplong@videocomm.com
