The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step

My first-ever airplane part arrived today:

[Indicator, Airspeed, Used]

In case it's unclear, that's an airspeed indicator, registering 40 to 200 MPH (and 40 to 180 knots in the subscale). It's definitely used, but it was also cheap, at $50 plus shipping. I'm not absolutely convinced it works, but it'll be simple enough to check.

If it works, I saved $250. If it doesn't, I have a pricey conversation piece. Either way, I'm pretty pleased.

I might have to get a pitot tube set up on my motorcycle and do some "testing."
