[Titanaircraft] Re: Static port experience

I had a similar experience when I did mine. I put them on both sides right behind the rear seat down low. I think it was creating a low
pressure area around them so I just disconnected it and vented it
under the instrument panel and it was pretty darn close from what
I could determine.
