anyone here have a trailing pitot/static

borrow?
I'd like to speed up the experiments I've been
doing to correct
the static errors on my 235.
Also, if anyone has suggestions on how to
trail and
retract the device, I'm open to suggestions.
I think I have a
workable method, but there may
be a better way.
Bob,
Borrow a decent GPS (Garmin ?96, ?30, etc.) and use any one of
the many methods (2,3 or 4 legs) to calibrate the true airspeed.
Use that (with some calculations if you don't have an electronic airspeed
calculator aboard) to correct the IAS. Thus, you can avoid all the,
uh, limitations of old methods.
