Default Low test numbers on Standard Cirrus, what could it be?

If you want another set of data, take a look at this video I made of
the Open Cirrus. *All the instruments were calibrated, you can see the
30 sec digital averager on the panel top, the timer on the lower left
with the altimeter will give you a timed measurement, and the Winter
on the left is a 2 min averager. *This flight is on OLC if you want
the GPS data.

I don't have time to comment on you results, except to say reread the
Johnson and Bikel articles on test measurement.

Thanks, interesting video. I just uploaded my video in two parts.
I'm pretty sure I collected the data correctly. Here is part 1.

Here is part 2.

I find the Excel spreadsheets hard to understand. There is one called
Performance.xls that is a blank. More homework I guess.
