My NASA Clipper wind instrument is playing up again !
I've already cured it of lying about wind speed by replacing cups after only 3 months but now it has developed a mind of its own wrt wind direction.
I just cant get it to indicate the true wind direction. It isnt a constant error but is sometimes up to 180 deg out. Ive tried the recalibration process described in the manual but it still wont give me a correct reading. Ive also been up the mast and checked the vane which seems intact and free.
Any ideas ?
