Mine looks like it is going to get one  The AI just started acting up, and once it fails my partner and I may go this direction.

Get a replacement for the DG instrument and then the whole vacuum system can be removed.
Can a Garmin or Dynon unit be set up to only display heading in a compass rose format?
That sounds like the next step needed, short of a full Skyview or Garmin equivalent system

Where can we find the Approved Model List for this STC?
526 models could include some older orphan aircraft like my Bellanca Cruisemaster?

"as a standalone primary source for aircraft attitude or turn coordination information"
Ah, key word OR turn coordination.
Was hoping it would at least replace both ... but I guess not, for redundancy ... fair enough ...

You pay ~750$ for the certification though ... or roughly 50% premium ...
So even with the ASTM certification instead of full TSO/PMA, still hurts!
Garmin could make a killing on this ... same as dynon of course, but int he certified world, Garmin is a much better known entity ...

By way of comparison.
G5 about $2,150?? including accessory kit, optional battery and STC for AI or turn coordinator.
Sandia SAI 340 Quattro $2,995 (Gulf Coast Avionics) including install kit and backup battery. TSO for AI, ASI, Alitmeter and slip ball.
