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.

Hi
Use a hair dryer set on warm not hot.
