I am wondering if someone (Kevin?) has determined the recovery factor for the GRT OAT probe - in particular for the streamlined aluminium part from GRT, ideally mounted underneath an RV wing.
I’m using a recovery factor of 0.8 which is giving remarkably good result (within 2.3kts SD 1.4kts). This value was suggested in the old Aviation Formulary website but can range between 0.7 and .95.
I’m thinking my results are too good to be true so am hoping someone may have objectively measured the value.
