Say someone made their static hole too large on one of the F-1073 side

skins.  Say someone wanted to devise a fix for said hole so that the

Cleveland static port would still reside in the same place.  Would someone

make a backing plate that had riveted to it a piece of aluminum the same

thickness as the side skin onto which the aforementioned static port was

attached so that the backing plate and the new piece of aluminum/static port

was flush with the original skin?  

 

Or, would one simply go buy another F-1073 and ream out the holes, deburr

everything, and call it a learning experience?  Wise thoughts, please.

I think one would stop talking about themselves in the third person!  :

John,



For me it would be...How much too big? Your scab patch on the inside my look sorta OK, but as I understand it the Cleavland ports need to be installed so the flat portion that extends out through the skin by a certain degree of thousands of an inch, I don't recall the exact measurment to insure the ports don't siphon air like a venturi, the small amount of protrusion makes the air "burble" around the port so you get a true static pressure. You would not get this by patching from behind then installing through the patch.



So I would imagine you would have to mount that port in another hole then patch your skins, which if you scab on a patch behind the existing hole you could build up with epoxy filler and make a flush repair. Your call.....but deep down it's more of a cosmetic thing....and if you want to buy new skins.

John,



  Contact Dave at rvsilverbullet(at)verizon.net  .  He can make you up a custom static port to any size you want.

Wise thought, this is not.  Embarrassed, I may be.

FYI - I ordered static ports and the trim cable mounts from Dave and found 

him to do excellent work and he was a pleasure to deal with.

If it was me, I would take the static port to a machinist, and have him make

a new one, to fit the new hole.  It may cost you, but a good machinist like

my neighbor can make it to fit any hole and still have the exact pressure,

static source.  Actually, it would not take that good a machinist, just

someone with a lathe.

Back from OSH and finally cooling down here in Nevada.  

At least here it's a dry heat.  LOL
