I've had a FD-180 and D-10A in my RV-7 for a long time. The aircraft was dis-assembled for a lengthy time for painting and the instruments were stored in a cabinet. Recently the aircraft is flying but I have airspeed issues. I've tested each system together and separately and they both read about 9 kts low during a manometer check set for 140 KIAS. The error gets less at the lower airspeeds and is correct at about 45 KIAS. I've used another analog airspeed indicator to verify the manometer. The FD-180 after being powered on for about 5 minutes starts indicating 20-28 kts IAS sitting in the hangar. I've managed to clear it by resetting the Zero Airspeed, but when I go to factory defaults it returns to the 20-28 kt indication. I imagine I'll have to send the units back to Dynon as I suspect there is an issue with the diaphragms and possibly more on the FD 180
Any thoughts?
Thanks
