Is there a problem with turn precession? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:57:42 AM PST US From: "Doug Ripley" Subject: Re: RV8-List: Gyros --> RV8-List message posted by: "Doug Ripley" Wayne, I have not, but I did recently purchase a horizon from Chief with 8 degree tilt.....it's on the slow boat from China (literally). I spoke with Van's about it, and they said the only problem with using standard horizon is that the instrument won't quite calibrate to zero using the little airplane that moves up and down with the knob (can somone help me out with the technical lingo here?!?) He said that there is no problem with the turn coordinator or DG. The non-TSO'd horizon with 8 degree tilt from Chief is a great deal. Just takes 4 months to get it.
