Test flight with leak-free probe

Using my Shapeways 3D printed leak-free probe nose and modifying a bunch of other parts, I made a leak-free test version of the probe. at the end of this post are a bunch of construction pictures.

A test flight in N291DR was delayed by the need to change out the spark plugs, but after that, I took off for a quick dusk jaunt. The IAS on Airball was still way under that displayed by the aircraft. This photo album contains the photos I took of both together.

Now my priority is to look for all the other sources of error. It may be a simple bug in my code :) but if that's the case, I need to make sure things are better tested. Stay tuned.
