The write-up here, has all the history behind this, but the short story is this: I've always wanted a better backup instrument, but the panel space and the fact that I had cut 2.25" holes and didn't have room for square instruments was limiting. I was finally going to just give up and by 2 of the RC Allen 2600-2 instruments this year, but *really* was not feeling good about that decision. But a little google searching led me to a perfect option that I hadn't found before. And, although it wasn't being sold in the U.S., I decided to take the risk and try it and bought 2 for both my RV10 and RV14. Here's the write-up link: https://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20180815/index.html And a quick photo: https://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20180815/RV20180718-200605-1668.jpg I'm not affiliate with them in any way, and have received nothing from them for showing them off, but needless to say, at the price point (under $1000), I've become a fan of theirs and want to share the info about it. Hopefully they'll be distributed in the U.S. soon enough, and it'll be an easier (although it was truly easy already) purchase for us U.S. Builders. Anyway, the video gives some info, as does the write-up, so I won't bore you here, but, after testing this in both planes and while doing aerobatics, I can say that if you're looking for something better to fill a 2.25" hole with, this would make an awesome retrofit. Hopefully it helps some of you who are currently dealing with poor backups.
