Hey Bob,
Levil Technology has all kinds of gadgets to achieve what you want to do. The iLevil series is an evolution from an electronic gyro that was certified to be used in general aviation. Unlike other "crude" portable systems, all of our products are professionally calibrated to behave like a true gyro. Although this one is not certified (to keep costs down), it offers same or superior performance than an AHRS normally found in a common RV installation. The difference is that the iLevil has a WiFi transmitter to port the information over to a High-Res Display.. like your iPad.
If you are looking for a flush mount.. take a look at this company... no compromises between analog or glass:
FlyPad mount
If you are unsure of what Synthetic Vision App, here are some options:
WingX Pro7 (in-flight screen shot in Florida), not as detailed as some of the other Apps, $99 yearly subscription, but overall App is highly recommended:
Xavion (in-flight screenshot in Fl), super detailed SV including high-ways in the sky, obstacles and runways, $99 flat (no subscription):
FlyQ EFB: super detailed SV, including highways in the sky, requires subscriptions for the maps (i believe SV is included), no compatibilisy with iLevil AW yet (thus no indicated airspeed, only Ground speed shown):
AirNav Pro: SV based on Google Earth.. super detailed and includes 3D waypoints, which is extremely helpful when using full screen SV. Flat fee for the 3D terrain per state:
If you don't want to pay a subscription because all you need is a backup AI with 3D terrain, then I recommend Xavion, it is really impressive what this app does. If you are looking for an all-in-one solution (VFR charts etc).. then I recommend downloading the 30-day trials.
If SV is not necessary.. then you have plenty of other good options that are also compatible with the iLevil (both Android and iPad)
and if you want to go the extra mile... the iLevil also incorporates the engine information from the grand Rapids EIS:
like I said.. plenty of gadgets..
I see if I can post some pictures of our RV9 panel..
