Static ports

Any issues with static ports in boot cowl?

When I tested that location, it was terrible! I've forgotten which way the static pressure sent, but just as soon as I applied takeoff power, the altimeter move something like 1 or 2 hundred feet.
I just did a quick look and failed to find the pictures of my test setup. I milled a surface mounted static port that I taped for a few different locations for testing. The boot cowl would have been very convenient. When that didn't work I tried the common location on the side of the aft fuselage and that seemed to work very well. That is where my static ports are now located.

Thanks for the response, time to reconsider!
