markejackson02 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 It looks like the AH I have is off by eight degrees. Is this something an instrument shop can adjust or does it need to be replaced by a new AH with the eight degree offset? Quote
Ned Gravel Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Mark: Some instrument shops can do exactly that. Just got to pick one that knows this part of the avionics business. I bought a new Attitude Indicator from Spruce when mine died in 2006, and I mistakenly ordered one with a zero degree setting. It was put in by the shop that looks after my Mooney and they told me it was at the wrong setting. Luckily, I found a local avionics shop that only does AI/DG/HSI and related instrumentation called Woodlawn Instruments. They charged me 80.00 Cdn to change the tilt to an eight degree tilt and they let me watch while the work was being done. Neat little setup. Just the thing to entertain an engineer. Quote
ErickR Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 I am looking for an AH for my m20b, do I need to get an 8 degree tilt? I assume my panel would be the same as any m20c model. Quote
