Altimeter repair

[Dave Erickson]

Bob,

Don't forget to check the altimeter setting. Should be local barometric
pressure if I remember right.

Can also set the altimeter to show a known altitude and cross check to local
barometer.

Bob:

I had one done at an instrument shop at Boeing Field for $70.00.
They cleaned it and check it's calibration. They didn't certify it
for flying by I don't expect my Bird to get too far off the ground.
They said it was within 10 to 15 feet at all altitudes up to 12,000.

You might want to talk to a local instrument shop.
