Ok Im in the process of getting the Plane recertified for IFR flight. What a pain it has been. Found that the altimeter was bad and needed replacing, tried buying a used one but that was not certifiable (was worse than the one I had). Then told I had a leak in the Autopilot (had to send it back to Mid Continent for repair, still waiting to hear from them). Was also told there was a leak in the static line anywhere from the Speedo back to the static ports.
I dove in and applied low pressure air to the static port and could not locate any air leak using baby power (recommended by avionics shop (should I be worried about cancer now? Just kidding). Whats the likely hood of a leaking line or poor seals in Steinair couplers? I'm tempted to just buy some new hose and replace it all.
