Default Jetcat Airspeed Sensor

Just installed an airspeed sensor on my P120 powered Boomerang Sprint. Has anyone had any issues with one? I want to utilize my full 27lbs of thrust for T/O & Go Arounds, but a little worried about a malfunction limiting it to a close to or below stall speed.
Thanks, Jay

I used one a long time ago on a P120 powered Kangaroo. I set the speed limiter at 175mph and the 120 was set for max rpm. It was very cool. You could come through strait and level and hear the turbine just turning enough to hold the speed....then I would pull vertical and you could hear the turbine revving up to hold the 175 going straight up. Put lots of flights on it with no issues. .

Thanks, That's awesome, exactly what I'm hoping for. Did you come up with any good pre flight test? I figure check for blockage, then blow my cordless blower into it & look for a change in airspeed on my GSU.

I checked it a when I initially installed it. I did not have a special preflight routine....just flew it.
