Static drain question

[gdwinc]

It's been almost a month since the last post to the Ovation board, so I thought I'd post something just to drive a bit of activity.

Anyhow, every other Ovation I have seen has a static drain on the bottom left side fuselage behind the wing and a pitot drain on the bottom of the left wing just behind the leading edge.  My 2000 Ovation does not have the static drain behind the wing.  

Anyone else not have the static drain or is my airframe a total oddball?

Cheers,

Mine does have the fuselage static drain. 1998 29-0135

You should be able to open the battery access panel and see the static lines from the left and right side of the fuselage to see where they go and if they connect to a drain.

I didn’t think to check as described. I’ll do that the next time I go flying. Thanks for the idea!
