Larry.. I am guessing that cutting your pitot at a 45 lowers your
indicated airspeed? and to keep from being blanked out by angle of
attack... again I assume the top is left long and the bottom is shortened.

Your tuning is very interesting. Another thing that you might do is to cut
your pitot tube at about a 45 degree angle. That matched my speed to the
actual speed reading, it also keeps it from being blanked out by angle of
attack.

Actually the speed was reading too slow by about 5MPH. After cutting a bit at a time, the speed began matching my GPS readings, and yes although I am generally too busy to watch the ASI on landing, it does not now get blanked out. I would "assume" that the angled cut allows more air pressure to get it into the tube, thus showing a faster speed on the ASI.
