It will also be the FIRST time the airspeed instruments will ever be
asked to show a useful reading.>>
Hi Mike,
It is a bonus if your ASI reads spot on. Most ASI`s do not. What IS
important is that you know where on the dial the needle points when you
stall. It really doesn`t matter what the numbers read. If it reads 30,
stay above 30. If it reads 40 stay above 40.
That should get the feathers flying
Cheers
Pat

what you say is true enough.... but it helps when you go flying with a
friend... to be at least somewhere in the ball park.

Hi Pat=2C
You are absolutely correct=2C and I'm quite aware of that. In fact=2C I
stated what you
said several times. "Whether it reads 40 or 400" comes to mind. Plus=2C t
he "that's
the 'magic' number to stay above"! This aspect of an ASI I am well aware of
. Thanks
I also said I wasn't exactly interested in it being "perfect"=2C but rath
er=2C that it works
at all. If it consistently reads 6 mph fast...or 8 mph too slow=2C I can
live with this
information=2C providing it does so across it's entire reading scale.
In fact=2C I can say that I understand that it doesn't even need to have
ANY numbers
on it's maiden flight. Right? I mean=2C what a guy would be looking for i
s that exact location
on the dial where the needle is when a stall is imminent.
It would seem to me that an ASI should be more viewed as a "stall warning
indicator"=2C
in the early stages of initial flights. The pilot should not be so focused
on a number=2C
but rather the needle's precise position.
A 'slightly off' calibration is very tolerable. An ASI that's reads a co
nstant 30 whether
you're traveling at 45mph AND also 85mph won't be very useful. My little
wind tunnel
project was simply to establish that "they worked"=2C nothing more than a b
asic proof that
little spiders or other creatures hadn't made their homes inside the holes.
....(I didn't really
think that=2C I was just kidding=2C they are both brand new=2C and kept in
their factory
boxes prior to installation)
However!!
Have you guys ever bought something "brand new".....and it work? I have!
!!
Years ago=2C I owned an old Datsun pickup. It was running poorly and I c
ouldn't figure it out=2C
so I called a mobile mechanic. He suggested we change the "points and cond
ensor"=2C
which we did. But after they were installed=2C the truck would not start!!
! We assumed we
had the points off a bit=2C or a milion other ideas we tried. Nothing!! A
fter screwing with
absolutely everything there is to work on for about 3-4 hours=2C and being
certain of
everything.....we said let's get another new set of points and consensor (a
t a different store).
Off to the different store=2C then back home=2C installed the new sets.
Turned the key....vrooooom.
Ran like a top!!! We spent the biggest part of a day wasted=2C due to a de
fective "brand
new set" of parts. (the condensor was bad)
I just didn't want my airspeed system to be included in that list of unpr
oven parts=2C that's all.

List=2C
In my previously reply to Pat=2C I asked if everyone had bought
something brand new=2C and it worked. Duhh!!! My typo!!
I meant "didn't work!!"
I had originally said it correctly=2C but then modified it. But after I
read it again=2C I reworded it back to what I origanally said=2C but I
accidently omitted "didn't".
Sorry for the confusion.
Mike
