I?m trying to decide on a new instrument to replace a failed 3 1/8? Turn and Bank in my RV4. It is an old unit, I don?t know yet if it can be overhauled. I haven?t had real good luck with overhauled gyros in the past anyway.
I?m looking at a couple new instruments. Falcon sells a turn coordinator that is designed for an instrument panel that is tilted 8 degrees. The RV4 is tilted around 7 degrees. I am also considering a TruTrak Pictorial Turn and Bank. It is advertised as solid state, not a spinning gyro.
Do any of you have experience with the TruTrak in an RV4 with the tilted panel? Does it work well? What about longevity? Does anyone have a gyro overhaul shop to recommend?
Thanks in advance,
Cameron Smith
