Just a short note to Bob Jude: I have all that - it seems that no matter how
large one makes the water trap, in some circumstances even that will fill
up. Brent mentioned that he thought the differential pressure due to high
wind across the fuselage forced the water in - I agree - even through the
"up-hill" section of the tube. In addition, the way the static line runs,
e.g., along the floor thru the center console area, it's such a long
horizontal run that it's difficult to designate a "lowest" point in the run
for a drain.
