Thanks for asking that Gary. I have the same issue with my altimeter. Seems like I'm adjusting it constantly to the GPS. It's so far out of whack that barometric pressure reading has vanished form Kollsman window. I tried removing the little screw next to the Kollsman adjustment knob (figuring it was a calibration screw) and spent the next hour putting the little parts back in that came shooting out.
By the way. I've also experience pilot side tank emptying faster. I have noticed that fuel cap on that side vents better than the other one. Don't know if that's the cause or a tendency to fly left wing high. I'm going to swap caps and see if it makes a diff.

I think that you are both probably right and I am probably chasing red herrings. As I am new to this plane I am probably just being over critical. I knew my last Kitfox inside out and trusted it implicitly – I guess I am just going to have to build up the same confidence level with this one.
Another question – I found an adjustment for my VSI but not for the altimeter – is there a user friendly way to adjust these or is it an instrument technician job. My altimeter reads almost 600ft out !

Gary I notice the same difference on my Light 2 also but not to the same extent. The pilot side always goes lower first. This has been noted by many others too and I don't recall that there was any real solution for this
