>I bought one of these and have fitted it in the Europa recommended
position,
but G-PTAG's
ASI is reading 100kts when flown alongside G-KITS at 115kts. I stood it on
about a 3" high aerofoil plinth.(Will need to do a GPS timed run since
G-KITS may be "off tune"!)
If some other builder has found an accurate position I could do to bend
your
ear please.?<

I have spoken to 2 builders who have had satisfactory results with the
aerofoil type pitot head. One of them was Brian Selmes the other was at
Cranfield this year but who it was I can't remember.
