get to make the decision of what ASI I want to install do I want a Standard
or True Airspeed?

Have you ever used an ASI with a TAS knob? I have pretty good vision and
I go crosseyed trying to set the temperature opposite the altitude.

Agreed. They are a complete waste of money.

Humm its hurting my brain deciding witch one to get price
difference is min as I am already going to have to be spending $420.00 on a
standard or should I spend a bit extra $490 on a true airspeed witch would
be best?

Before you get too excited, check with your local FSDO. With the Teterboro FSDO,
the instrument must either be the exact make and model of one on the original
equipment list, or it must be STC'd for the aircraft. It may be possible to get
others approved, but it's like pulling teeth on a Grizzly with no anesthetic.

Treason is ne'er successful, Sir; what then be the reason? Why, if treason
be successful, Sir, then none dare call it treason.

Well I got my ASI today looks great bright lettering pito/static system will
be rechecked on Friday to see if it holds when the avionics guys return from
Vegas on Friday look great in my panel.
