Another method that I used in my
experimental glider was to switch the ASI to a trailing
probe.


I don't have a clue what you mean by that. Clues accepted, gladly! g

Jim and all,

I believe the trailing probe Todd is talking about is a specially
designed pitot/static assembly, trailed some distance behind the
aircraft in order to operate clear of the wake and disturbance.
It is typical flight-test hardware.

Hope this helps,
