The earlier Champ can legally be equipped for IFR. Same with Cubs. CAR4a certification.
One of the guys (a very knowledgable guy at that) insists you cannot do a pitot- static check on instruments where the static system is the port on the instrument. I think a careful reading of the regs would allow hooking the static tester up to the static port of the instrument, since the aircraft was certificated that way. Not sure - not actually doing it.
Some buddies with a Chief might try it for training purposes.
