D3
 
Is there going to be a D3 with ADSB anytime soon?

That would surprise me. It is a long reach to go from an attitude indicator to ADSB reporting. They require two completely different sets of hardware and software.

Is D2 a true backup AI
 
is this Dynon D1 or D2 a truly good backup attitude indicator? Or is it not quit stable enough? Put another way, would this be better than partial panel in IMC if the AI was lost? Thanks

I have flown behind the D1. It would (in my opinion of course) be better than partial panel. I think the D1 (and I'm sure the D2) are good backup attitude indicators.

Steve,
The D1/D2 are true attitude indicators. They use the same algorithms as our panel mounted products like the D6 and D10A. There's no reason they should be "less stable" in attitude than other indicators.

The D1/D2 are meant as backups which require no installation in any aircraft. The downside is airspeed, altitude, and heading are all GPS based, not air data based because they can't hook to pitot and static. If you want a device that is permanently mounted and can hook to pitot/static, there are other options but they also cost more.
