I've dispatched this question to the dealer and factory, but need to
troule-shoot quick so trolling here. I have a 2008 Schleicher ASG29
with confused instruments following some repair work.

My question is, in its factory configuration, are the three lines from
the multi-probe free of joints, splices or connectors all the way to
the instrument panel? (I'm sure this is the case for the TE and Ptot
lines, it's the static I'm curious about.)

I'm a little unclear about the total Pstatic implementation, with both
an E-Systems multi-probe and what appear to be static ports on the
fuselage a meter north of the rudder. Are the two combined?

ps the symptoms a varios appear to operate without TE compensation
and the ASI is not correct, mostly floating around 40-50% of what it
should be reading. Altitude readings correct on altimeter, 302 and
LX7007. The LX's vario's average always read 0.0, even when climbing
it what felt like very strong wave.

The front-hinged canopy on your ASG-29 is probably the same as on my
ASW-28. When the canopy opens, the tubing has to follow it. When the
canopy closes, there is a loop of tubing that can kink. I had
problems with my varios such as yours where they did not appear to TE
compensated. While looking at the tubing carefully with the canopy
closed I found a loop of tubing that would kink closed with a crimp.
I cut out that segment and spliced it together with a connector and
then protected it from bending with an external splint/stiffener such
as might be used to keep wires together in a loom obtained at the
hardware store. That fixed the problem. It was impossible to see
with the canopy open!
