The ASI being looked at is a Kollsman model 38105.
But what is needed is one a bit lighter but with the same resolution.
miss read the e-mail I got yesterday hence the modification
Many thanks for your help..
I'm rather curious as to what aeroplane has that sort of speed range, but is so weight critical that you are worried about the weight of the ASI!

I do suspect that for very lightweight with a wide range and good resolution, you probably want something digital. Can you make use of something like a Garmin G500, G600, G900 or G1000 and combine the primary flight display and flight test ASI functions? Presumably with something like that, you can also record off it, which would safe you a lot of other mucking about.
