If one is getting a new / used glider and wants to check out the Static / Pitot / TE systems on the ground, what is a recommended procedure?

TIA -

Lou



Lou,

Check out a Soaring Mag. article July 2005 by Lee Kuhle, "How's Your Plumbing"

You can probably find the article archived on the SSA Web page.

From memory, Mr. Kuhlke has you use Syringes of various capacities and the ASI to check the entire system for leaks.
