I have heard RV guys talking about IAS errors based on the location of the
static port (on RVs).

Quoting RicArgente@cs.com:
Hello folks,
Thanks much to all that have responded to my inquiry.
Ok, so a blocked static port would yield a lower airspeed reading, so that is
probably not it.
As most have mentioned on this forum, the location of the static port could
be the problem and maybe off a bit, maybe by a lot? I will check the
construction manuals to determine the suggested location of the static port
and compare that with ours. As Paul and others suggested, we may have to
move the static port aft from its current position.
I posted the same inquiry on the ES yahoo group and so far nobody seems to
have the same problem. The ES folks have posted similar analysis as to what
could be wrong (i.e. static port location).
BTW, we only have one static port on the ES and no alternate static port.
As I mentioned on an earlier post, we neglected to verify or compare our
altitude readings during our formation flight.
Thanks again!
