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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
