In looking at the threads, it seems quite a bit of you have fragged mechanical AIs from doing acro. I always assumed that the caged ones could survive this.
So with that, are there any mechanical gyros that can no kidding take acro abuse, or do they all have to be powered down and caged prior?
I also like the looks of the TruTrak ADI even if its operation is somewhat unconventional, provided it will help me keep the plane upright if I end up in the soup.
I'm also trying to keep this bugger as light as possible. Mission is strictly day VFR, no desire to fly at night, I might even skip the AI all together.
