    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

My airspeed is questionable. The difference between the front and rear indicator is 10 MHP. The difference between the GPS and rear indicator is significant at cruise. I also have noticed that on run up, while standing still, I will get a 40 MPH indication on the airspeed indicator. Is this common? Shouldn't the ram air be outside of the propwash?
