But you just take a collet and slide it over the tube and then experiment by moving it back and forth until your ASI is doing what you think is right. Bertie I tried that on my Johnson Rocket and got it to indicate 200 MPH in level flight! Of course, it stalled at 100 instead of 60. ;) All it is is an O-ring or something similar placed ahead of the static pickup in the pitot/static system. This works only on planes that have a combined pitot/static head, not on those that have the flush-mounted static port on the side f the fuselage. Ah, OK, you mean the ones with two tubes, right?
