I am not an aviator, but I have what hopefully is not a stupid question. I am a restoring a '80 Triumph Spitfire roadster and would like to add a Supermarine Spitfire gauge to the dash. I found a Slip (balance) and Turn indicator in ebay, but not knowing enough about them I was wondering if it...

Hello everybody! x) Very soon, in the end of January, I am flying to Georgia with a propeller passage plane. This will be my first trip with a propeller plane.
