Working on my glider last night, and noticed that my static lines seem

recommended way of drying them out a bit first?

Was thinking of blowing some low pressure air through them for a few
minutes first. Obviously, they'll be disconnected from the
instruments. Has anyone else dealt with this? And what did you do?

Thanks!

Kevin,

Use a tire pump that can be connected to auto 12v cigarette lighter
socket.

Disconnect instruments, and the airspeed if in the rear of the glider
and TE Probes, connect to the pump leave connected for about 1/2 to
1 hours. the air will be low pressure and eventually warms up and
will evaporate the moisture.
