I have put a R C Allen electric artificial horizon in my RV7a.
(Model RCA26AK-3).
It is fine with loops but topples on loops.
It has a knob that says "pull to cage".
I thought you might be able to lock it in the caged position but you can't.
Will it end up damaged from tumbling it during loops?
What if I pull the circuit breaker prior to aeros, would that protect it better?
Are there attitude indicators (electric) that allow you to fully cage it for aeros?
Any thoughts?
