The worst part is that they charged me more than the cost of a new
Gyro for their "standard" overhaul. Now after 2 attempts should I feel
safe with their gyro next time?


How long has it been since the overhaul and "attempts" occurred? What
is the proximate cause of your AI failure?


The overhaul was about 3 weeks ago, it failed the first flight
afterwards, we sent it back. They said they tested it and returned it
without doing anything to it. My A&P has tested the vac to the back of
the gyro with his instrument. I have a cockpit gauge that shows good
vac and seems to test well. I also have a sensor on the back of the AI
that alarms low vac that I test on shutdown. It too shows good vac at
the time.

The original problem was that it would slowly roll about 30 degrees to
the right but remain 100% responsive to pitch and bank. It would be
very confusing in the clouds.
