Hi VAF Brain Trust,
I'm beginning to plan my panel and I want to add a steam-gauge altimeter and airspeed as a backup to the Dynon system I'm planning on installing. Space is a bit tight, so I'm looking for 2-1/4 sized instruments.
I've searched the normal places (Spruce, etc) and didn't really find anything I liked. However, I found Winter Instruments, a German company primarily providing HW to the glider market.

Does anyone have experience with this company/instruments? Has anyone used these in an RV.
More generally, what's your opinion about mini (2-1/4) instruments vs. the standard sized 3-1/8" steam gauges. Good or bad experiences?
