Another Airball flight. This time, I was doing GPS assisted IAS calibrations.
I took off from KRHV and took a right turnout departure. Then I realized one of the pressure sensors in the probe was plumbed backwards. Yikes. I puttered for a while then decided to come back.
I realized that the easiest thing to do was to simply change the firmware to negate the reading, and call it a day. I did that and went up again. Another right turnout departure.
I spent a long time around 5,500' MSL over the private airfield in a valley East of KRHV, doing 3-legged passes at different airspeeds, including ones where I put in about 10 degrees of yaw in one direction or the other, tried to hold a constant heading, airspeed, and altitude, and recorded the GPS readings.
Back to KRHV for my second landing of the day. It was a rather grueling 2 hours, but fun! Hope the data looks good!
