Airspeed, mode C, altitude errors....Gradually these got worse on my
RV6. Finally had pro check out system. Altimeter failed leak test, mode
C was off, and static system had leaks near ports. Would have saved a
lot of time if I had gotten this fellow, with proper equipment, to check
out at the outset. Also, probably some error due slipstream differences
on each side of fuselage, differs by airspeed. Sure RV-10 is similar.
Need check everything hooked to pitot-static for leaks, etc..
Think most important to verify indicated stall speed is reasonably
accurate early on in phase 1 flight test, or any time after pitot static
system work has been done. Need adjust for density altitude/weight of
course.
Tail posn/strobe light. Put a combo Whelen posn/strobe light on tail of
my RV6, and it's never missed a beat. For power supply, I used one from
Strobes N More, ditto never missing a beat, and half the price of a
Whelen power supply.
