If you all are looking for an easy way to measure pressure, I use a dual
Magnehelic gauge to measure pressures-look in Grainger, diff ranges of "
water, cost <$100. Put one end of tube in front of cooler, one in rear. Run
to cockpit, take diff reading in diff attitudes/speeds.
These are used to "balance" airflow in HVAC systems in buildings.

They are great Marc. Used a lot of them myself. A water manometer
is free by comparison and you get at least half a dozen on one piece
of plywood. I have used Poloroid cameras to record the manometer values.
