Hello Gents
This week end I flew my RV-4 in formation with a friend of mine ( Also an RV-4 ) and we started checking our IAS/TAS/GS as we were moving along and to my surprise his IAS/TAS were 12 knots higher than mine on the same GS.
Mine were IAS/TAS ; 140/148 knots at 4500' and 2450RPM and his were exactly 12 knots higher at the same altitude and RPM.152/160 .
I think mine are a little low for an RV-4 with an 0-320 with around 175HP. so after talking with a friend who an engineer on the C Series ( Scott here on VAF ) he told me that I may have a leak in my pitot lines..
I have a Dynon Skyview with the Dynon pitot installed and used these to do the connection to the Adhars..

Are these good enough to provide a good seal or should I use something and if yes...What should I used??
Also what did you guys used to make the connection at the pitot level ( Connecting the pitot line and the AOA line)???
Thanks
