do you know what TSO is? where it IS and ISN'T required?.most, including the
vast majority of the Fed's don't.and simply say "must be TSO'D......not
true.but also there are Certified and Non-Certified aircraft
instruments.......and "required" instruments and some need some
certification.....and some don't....
I'll just betcha the re is a vast number, if not majority of gliders flying
around with illegal equipment and worse, illegal installations of even legal
stuff.glider pilots tend to be their own mechanics....and are not allowed to
be their own mechanics.....and should (Should) at the very least have a
mechanic sign off any and all installations....even in "experimental"
aircraft.....unless to owner is the builder.......there are big differences
in Experimental :homebuilt" and "Exhibition and Racing" and so on.......but
that's another thread.....
BTW, I do sell certified and non certified instruments.many are good, some
are not so good.....regardless of how or if they are certified.....and that
too.is another thread )

Hi Todd,

Good point. Many soaring instruments are not TSO'd. But I have a
customer who wants to install a G meter in his certificated Grob 103 and
wants an instruments that would be "legal" and correct. I think that
makes sense. I would want to do things "correctly" with my glider as
well - if possible.

The Falcon line looks interesting, but it is for experimental aircraft
only - if I understand their web site correctly - they sell non-TSO'd
instruments. http://www.falcongauge.com/

I'd really like to find a source that is OK for use in any glider.

This is one of the reasons I like my experimental
certificate - fewer "issues," but if you don't mind me
asking - you sell glider flight computers from Cambridge, LX
and Ilec. Are those TSO'd? If not, why not sell the
G-meter under the same conditions, or is there some relevant
difference between G-meters and flight computers?
