OC Attitude Indicator Success!

[stevem]

Horacio, you're right… Block 2 is there to keep it all aligned, and surprisingly, it does it really well!

A B-36 sim? I guess one would have to steal it from a museum first… then, there'd be about 6,000 instruments that need rebuilding!

LOL. Yeah. These are the reason they invented glass cockpits.


That's also why I opted to build a Cessna.

Hi Guys,
Great work Stevem.
Have a look at this tutorial, it takes a real instrument and removes so much and then shows you how to mount
two servos.

I have no clue where the attitude indicator I have is from (no markings), but it is really different to the ones we often see and is depicted in this tutorial. Mine is bulkier, sturdier, and has no colors.
I'll post up pictures when I work on it, might be useful to others.

a B36 would be cool! For my Attitude gauge I just did some mods and installed 2 servos internaly, very little custom parts were needed.
