I know that my airspeed indicator has been way off for quite a while  .  I 
have over 300 hours on the plane and this is what my AI shows.  I  was pretty 
sure it was offf when I first did stalls and slow flight and it was  pegged on 
the low end at 40 and I was still in slow flight and not near a  stall.  Max in 
flight indicated is about 145.  I checked against my  GPS and it showed 
around 30 mph of difference.  Well I just dont let my  airspeed get close to 40 
and 
my upper speeds I use my gps to figure out.  I  normally cruise at 135 
indicated (165 actual).   I just had a chance  to test it against another AI to 
make 
sure it wasnt and installation error and  sure enough it was of by about 32 
mph.  Well, I'll get another one later  but for now I know how to fly with it 
and the error doesnt bother me.  I  will get it fixed before I start doing IFR 
approaches though. Except I dont have  any other IFR equipment - oh well.
