W Windrunner Member Dec 11, 2008 #1 I'm trying to determine what degree of tilt attitude indicator I should buy for my RV9. I've been told to measure the angle across the main longerons when on the wheels but am seeking other input. Thanks in advance.

Mel Legacy Member Mentor Dec 11, 2008 #2 I believe the instrument panel angle is supposed to be 8 degrees. Actually mine measures about 7.5.
W Windrunner Member Dec 11, 2008 #3 Thanks for the reply Mel. Should I measure using a reference across the instrument panel then with the weight on the wheels? Thanks again.

Click to expand... Most mechanical attitude indicators will be sold as 0 or 8 degree. The 8 degree will be close enough. L.Adamson --- RV6A
