I have this nice little Winter airspeed indicator that I was thinking of putting on eBay so day before yesterday when my buddy Dave was down working on his latest project, we decided to take it out and make sure it worked. I made a pitot to stick out the car window and off we went. Seems to be pretty accurate at all the road legal speeds at least. It's unusually warm today, flying seemed to be just the thing to do, and I got to thinking about something to do with that little ASI before I got rid of it. I've always wondered how much air is coming up the boom tube. Now I know.

The pitot was sticking into the boom tube with the opening facing aft.
