I read an article about 30-35 years ago. I’m not sure if it was in my Bingelis books, which I can’t find now after moving three years ago, or some other EAA magazine. It was about using a water column to check your airspeed indicator. It involved hooking one end of a tube to the pressure port of the airspeed, and then hooking up to a water column on the other side. For every inch the level in the water column rises, the airspeed indication should go up X mph. Does anyone know what this was or direct me to a copy of the article?
With the basket case I acquired, The panel was empty except for an altimeter and airspeed indicator. To check the altimeter, I'll just take it up in my CTLS with me and see how it responds. But I need to do a rough check on the airspeed to see if it's worth messing with.
Thanks,
Mark
