Here's what we did:  After the initial upward curve of the static line
inside the fuselage, we had a constant downhill run along the sidewall to
the area of the pilot's left ankle.  At that lowest point, we plumbed in a
pneumatic valve (a duplicate of the one you use for the door seal).  The
point of the 2-way valve was to allow for a "T" and another short line to an
alternate static source (we put ours in the left wing root, away from any
possible ice).  This not only solves the alternate static source concern
(only a switch flick away!), but serves as a "somewhat" convenient place to
disconnect the system to drain it.
