Does anyone know how one would install two separate airspeed indicators? I suspect one would need a separate pitot tube systems. Is this correct? Also, how does one go about correcting an error (either too fast or slow) in the indicator. I'm 2/3 done with the fuselage of my Zenith Zodiac 601XL...

Few weeks ago, 2 Lancair 320/360s stopped at my airport. I went over to get a better look and found their engine air intake does not have any air filter. Are they designed this way? Would bugs be a problem? Does it shorten the TBO?

How can an RV-9 possibly cruise 50 mph faster than a 152 w/same engine yet stall at the same speed and give up nothing in terms of stability, etc.? P.S. Zoom is a wiener.

Walking in the woods this morning under a low and snowing overcast, I heard a large and loud formation of geese flying directly overhead but they were not visible. I had no idea that geese were IFR rated. Dave Tate
