I have that same one. It works very well. I'm really surprised how friction free
their bearings are. It's real hard to get the balance perfect almost because
if you're a perfectionist you can spend a lot of time getting it real precise.
But once you get it real close its easy to know you did a good job. The
price is right too. Highly recommended. Been using mine now for almost 9 years
I think. Glad they're still making them because it looks like it's a one man
business.

Hi Bruce
Which kit did you get? Was it the UNIV kit?
Cheers

If you have dual AHDRS with auto monitoring, and dual screens, the need
for a tie breaker is debatable . My dual Skyview provides this
capability as do other EFIS systems. You may not realize this, but you
already have a tie breaker, as they call them in jets, if you have an
IPhone 5 or newer. Use the compass ap that came with the phone, and go
to the second page of the ap, and therein is a very accurate pitch and
roll display, and it won=99t tumble. I have played around with it
, maneuvering in my RV8 and have no problem returning to strait and
level and maintaining that, using that as a sole reference, (under a
hood with a safety pilot). You don=99t get airspeed or altitude
info, but target pitch and power is all you need to fly anyway while you
sort things out. Turn the IPhone's auto lock feature to
=9Cnever=9D and velcro the phone to the panel. If you fly
lots of hard IFR, then go ahead and get the real deal in your panel. If
all you fly is light IFR, like getting above a marine overcast on
departure or down thru one with an approach, then dual AHDRS with auto
monitoring, and the IPhone tie breaker may be all you need. There are
probably better aviation aps that use the ADRS chip in the IPhone or
IPad or whatever devise you have with you , but you may already have all
the tie breaker that you need. Just saying....

I just grabbed my wife's iPhone 6 Plus - amazing! Can't wait to put it in
the plane and try it out. Thanks!

That is cool.
One thing to be careful of in that app. After 45 degrees in either roll
direction, it "flips" to think you're holding the phone in portrait vs
landscape. My guess is that the aviation based apps like this would be much
better.

I just tried this. That's where his key words of setting your phone to rota
tion lock is important. I always keep my phone rotate locked and it worked p
roperly that way, but yes, if you turn that off it could be very problematic
.
I have a gyro app that is much prettier than the compass version, so I doubt
I'll use compass, but it is nice to know its there.

Here is what ive used in the past. The axle sizes are slightly
different. I remember it taking me a while to finally get the nose wheel
balanced correctly. If the plane sits for too long, i will notice it
bounce now and then.
