Roger,
The text on the web page says they show a "nose up attitude and
slight bank to the left". Surely you mean a "slight bank to the right"? If it
really is a slight bank to the left, I'm not surprised that there were
accidents changing to and from these gauges. I personally think that there is
no "right" answer for the inside/outside perception thing, but that it's like
track up/north up on maps. I find north up more intuitive, but I also find
the inside-out AI more intuitive than the outside-in turn coordinator.

Oops...I replaced the photos last night...bout 2:00 AM or so and
neither compared the position of the indicator with the old photos, or
bothered to read the text. sheesh That's what I get for staying up
so late.

Hmmm gotta go fix a page.

Thanks for bringing that up.

It was right for the previous photos, but the photos weren't real
sharp. (lots of reflections)
