I have heard gossip of the Peregrine switch having pitot/static leak issues. Is there another approved squat switch known not to leak? This last summer I installed the Perigrine ground/air speed switch, with a small syringe applying just enough pressure to read 50 knots airspeed, reading is steady as a rock for over 20 minutes during a transponder-Ads_b check. Good Luck, Scott Anyone had problems with these switches detecting an airspeed low enough in thermals to switch it to "on the ground" mode? Jim
