I'm building an RV-9A and finally installed the static ports today. Vans
provides a pair, one for each fuselage side, made from a couple of pull rivits: Remove the stem and voila, instant static port. They seem to work well but nobody likes the look. SafeAir provides a nice kit with CNC machined static ports. I'm using the kit for the plumbing but back in February saw on Vans Air Force yet a 3rd make, some guy making them in his garage I guess. Also nicely made, and have the advantage that they easily bolt on (instead of rivets and/or ProSeal like SafeAir's) and the contact disk is small so doesn't run into the bulkhead like the SafeAir contact disk does on the -9A, when it's place according to Van's drawing. Anyway, I tried to find the posts about these nice static ports again in VAF, and guess what? The entire thread removed...kinda like the Stalinist days in the Soviet Union when they'd retouch photos to remove out-of-favor people from history. Yep, seems the owner of VAF is a real fascist jerk when people mention a little product and won't cough up advertising dollars to him. So, I'll mention the guy's name here. I assume he's still offering these.
