Hi Dennis, I think most of the figures for these old planes are averages anyway. In mine just open or close the side windows and everything goes haywire for about 20 seconds. Rate of climb will change by 200-300 ft. and altimeter needle will bounce up and down until the pressure stabilizes. On take off
roll while accelerating and still earthbound the altimeter shows an increase of 100-150 ft. over field elevation with windows open. The price you pay for static line vented inside the cockpit. Not a problem for me since I don't fly IFR and I know the plane pretty well. If I let anyone else fly it though I think a detailed briefing of the idiosyncrisies would be a must. In my opinion it's all part of what makes it so much fun to fly. What do you think?
