New RC Allen instrument

[tls pilot]

This appears to be brand new to market and seems to capture the traditional six pack in one instrument

$3250.00

 

[GeeBee]

About the same price as a Garmin GI-275

Can't drive an autopilot with it.

Looks great, RC Allen makes good stuff, but too expensive for most, considering the other options. They obviously didn't do a market survey before they priced it.

Was thinking the same things.

Looks fine for backup and it has independent HW & SW compared to my otherwise all-G suite, a comforting fact.

THIS ^^^^^

Exactly why I added an AV-20-S to my G3X / G5 panel; inexpensive tie breaker. If the 787 needs three  AIs, I think it's a good idea for me. If you want to know what can happen with only two attitude indicators when one fails, read the accident report for West Air Sweden Flight 294.

What is the least expensive backup certified attitude indicator?

Their older electric gyros were horrible. Went through two of them. Saved enough to buy a sandia 340A. It rolled over… sent it back to the factory. Got it back, didn’t really trust it. Then An AD came out. Day VFR only! I’m ready to reinstall the vacuum system!
