Marv asked me to expand a little on my static system water trap on my 360.



I have static ports per the manual on both sides of the plane.  The left side

static line (1/4in. polyflo I believe) routes forward to behind the seat.  The

right side line comes across from the right side, behind the seat back and T's

into the left side line.  The T junction attaches directly to the bottom side of

an upside down pill bottle (one-a-day).  The cap is air tight and if unscrewed

will release any water.  Another line exits the pill bottle and routes to the

IP.  The bottle is adel clamped to the fuselage left side behind the seat back.

The trickiest part is bonding the polyflow fittings to the pill bottle but any

number of ways will work.
