any suggestions on pressure testing? 
Redundancy's the thing. :) I got a cheap $10 gauge set from harbor freight and found that it read almost exactly the same as my air gauge. Since two agreed I used these readings to calibrate the others.
 
That’s where I’m at – and I’ll keep everyone posted on progress.
Fair enough. I just wanted to wave the flag a little.

PS - We made it though the storm somewhat unscathed. A 100' pine took out the end of the patio and there are lots of trees in the yard, but otherwise the house is ok. Power is out, of course. The airport was an education. I just posted a bunch of pictures in the canard forum at this link http://canardaviationforum.dmt.net/showthread.php?p=22167#post22167   I'm on battery, so I dont want to take the time to upload them again.  There were hundreds of planes totalled. Most interesting were well tied down planes which werent hit by anything.... but were destroyed where they stood by the sheer force of the wind. Lots of hangars were demolished together with the planes in them. My hangar stood the storm well and the planes inside are undamaged.
