My airspeed seems to lag behind reality, so I used a syringe and surgical tubing (highly advanced technical stuff) and connected it to my Dynon FlighDek D-180 and the Dynon AOA probe (no heat). I can get it to go to 100kts, but it dropped off suddenly. So i bypassed the AOA / pitot probe and ran it up to 100 kts, and it HELD! OK, it went down VERY slowly. Went back to the probe, covered the leak vents and the AOA port, and ran it up again, and it bled off the airspeed withing a second or two.
Should the Pitot leak with the AOA and bleed ports covered up? I'm thinking no, and I need to purchase another $245 probe. Thoughts? I will have video up on you tube soon, search Zodiac Zenith 600XLB AOA leak check.
