Installing the static plumbing is fairly easy. One challenge was removing the mandrels from the AD-42-BSLF blind rivets (which serve as the static ports). I ultimately used a #52 drill to drive them out after failing with a punch.
Don't push too hard on the F plastic tee. You'll break it. $0.80 replacement from Van's (couldn't source it locally).
I used a longer length than the plans call out for the static line tee upsizer. Don't worry, I later cut the top straight.
Left side sealed in.
Right side sealed in.
Easily tested by blowing in the distal tube and feeling for air coming out of the ports.
As an aside, some folks choose to install a more robust static line setup, an example of which can be found here.
