    If you dont mind the thing being 6 to 8 inches deep, you can build one yourself. And all you really need to know is in Mikes book.

    I have Mike's book and it's fantastic, but the fact that nobody seems to have done it yet speaks to the complexity. Maybe I'll be the first one someday.

    Or to the antiquity. Even Cessna is going to glass. After a six month search for one myself, I resigned myself to using a monitor to display flight instruments.

    I don't think FS gauge manufacturers really want to offer something that no one but a handful of hobbyists will buy. And the less they sell the higher the pricetag.

    Unless you are wealthy, it's going to be hard to come by one for using in FS. Especially the correct model for the aircraft you are modeling. I wouldn't buy a replica of a King HSI to install in a 727 and I also wouldn't install a Collins 110 in a 172.

    Ruprecht:

    I intend building an HSI for my sim when the time comes. I'm planning to build the BK KI525(a?). I have a couple of plastic copies of the face for the artificial horizon in this series and plan to modify that for the 525 face. I need to work out the mechanics of it yet. If you want to PM me maybe we could collaborate on the design.

    Err... Ruprecht, I see you're in sunny Brissy. Where are you? I'm on Russell Island.

    More power to you. I hope you succeed.

    If I could handle the frustration factor of such an undertaking I'd try it myself.

    Scott, Could you post some pix of the face of the 525a? I'm wondering about something now....

    Andy:

    I could post pics, but then I'd have to kill you...

    Actually, It's the HSI from FS9/FSX on the GA planes. I haven't done anything concrete as far as the internal design goes yet, just some ideas in my head as to the mechanicals.

    Thats the one I was looking at. I came up with some mechanicals for all of it even the CDI. That part was tough. And I have a way to make it work also. It would plug into two slots on the Simkits CCU.

    EDIT: You will need 7 servos to run it and two of them require contact brushes.

    This would be a rather large unit though...
    Sure you don't want to go with glass?

    Andy:

    I would really like to see your ideas on this. I think the course card could be run from a stepper motor with some differential gearing, but that's as much as I've thought about. As far as the servos, using the micro sized units would help keep the size down. PM me and let's talk more about this.
