Falcon airspeed indicators have been one of the most chosen flight instruments by kit plane builders and pilots. There are many great advantages: excellent slow speed characteristics; very progressive increments; variety of ranges; light weight; short length; affordable price; and reliability. All airspeed indicators are housed in an aluminum case and all parts are made with metal. Model: ASI80N-3 Range: 0-80 Knots Size: 3 1/8" Length: 3.5in/97.3mm Weight: 10.2oz/290g Made in China |
I pulled the gauge out of the box and it was already showing 70 kts. A little frustrating but it’s a mechanical part, it happens. So I took it to Spruce for return or repair and they submitted a claim to Falcon. Falcon replied and basically said I’m lying. That it’s impossible for this to happen and I must have installed this in the aircraft and then broke it. So, they will not honor their warranty. It is what it is. It just lets me know, do not use Falcon products.
