I stay with my statement: Something which looks exactly like a well known
and widespread instrument but works differently is a possible source of
confusion and a very bad idea, especially when it comes to such an
unforgiving thing as flying in clouds.

Well let's see, yup my Trutrack in my glider does sort of look a bit like
the horizon in my Mooney, it has the blue sky over brown earth anyway. Then
there's that little airplane thingy - - that's similar. Ah, but there's no
vertical scale to show pitch. Hmmm, what's that little sign above the
airplane right on the face of the instrument? "N-O P-I-T-C-H" is what it
says. Damn, that's confusing!

I'm not connected with Trutrack in any way.

(who's very happy with the Trutrack and not likely to get confused enough to
remove it and throw it away :c)
