Hi to all. I'm about to complete my panel and would like a help from you.
I'm going with a classic 6 instruments in front of pilot (as per old Cessnas 152, 172...), with the difference that gyro horizon is replaced with a Dynon EFIS D10A and the turn coordinator will be replaced with a Trutrak ADI Pilot II (tbc...still wondering if going witha simple turn and bank). I bought conventional TSO'd airspeed, altimeter and VSI (United).
I am now worrying about the absence of conventional directional gyro (it helps making radial interception easier, etc...). I saw Falcon DG's are not reliable and the others (Sigma tek, Mid continent etc...) are very expensive.
So, why not adding a precision vertical card compass as a substitute of the DG? I'm aware of some magnetic interference (Spruce sells a nickel sheet to minimize this). Apart from this, how would you feel this idea? 277 against 2000is a lot... And vertical card compass needs not to be resetted...
