Hi Adrian It is reading about 95 Knots when the GPS is reading 110 Knots. I think it has more to do with the static port location more than the pitot tube.

Only two things that I wonder about is the location of your pitot/static think that is why your only reading 110mph should be much higher and of course the prop, should be a larger pitch. You know Robert has a copy of my plug, why don't you guys get together and build another. If pitot/static should stick out at least 18" anything shorter and it won't read true. Originally I put my p/s where you have yours but, mine was a lot shorter about 10" and when I went on my maiden it just went up to 40mph and that's were is stayed. When I came in to land I must have been doing 100mph, our runway is 12,600' long and I still had not touched down as I passed the tower which is about halfway. When I taxied back to the hanger I had it cut out in about 5 mins and relocated where it is now. Just hope your Posa keeps working ;)............. Happy Flying, Guy!
