Piper Seneca (N1570X) - While overnighting with the AC on the ramp, I put the pitot tube cover on to prevent bug intrusion, and I had the great idea to put some bright blue tape over the static ports for the same purpose.  Darn if those bugs are going to mess with my Pitot-Static system!  Notice anything about the airspeed indicator?  For Flight Instruction, why do you think this happened?  Very interesting to me. And something you learn for an IFR rating and beyond.
