Default Artificial Horizon – HELP!

Hi Mike,

I haven't flown with any of those, but I do sell 2 products that may be of
interest.

LXNAV AHRS (for use with LX8000, LX8080 or LX9000
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/lxnav.htm

TruTrak Pictorial Turn & Bank
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/trutrak.htm

The Pictorial Turn & Bank is not an artificial horizon, but works great for
keeping the wings level if you inadvertently get caught in clouds.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

This winter’s projects include adding an artificial horizon (AH) and
PowerFlarm to my panel. I am trying to determine which AH would be
best suited for occasional use in XC soaring flights. It would be
very helpful to hear from pilots with experience using AH in gliders.
Attributes I think would be important include short power up time and
ability to deal with unusual attitudes. So far, I have read about
these products:

Dynon Avionics EFIS-D6 (http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/
D6_intro.html)
PCFlightsystems eGyro-2 (http://www.pcflightsystems.com/)
MGL Avionics AV-1 (http://www.mglavionics.co.za/).

Comments on these and any others would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
