Winter is making small altimeters and airspeed indicators.
I was wondering if other manufacturers were offering
the same products.

I looked hard a few months ago and could find no other
manufacturers for gliders.

There are 57mm altimeters for commercial aircraft which
are very expensive. I bought a second hand Jaeger
57mm altimeter which is very nice.

BTW the Winter 57mm ASI is not very accurate or stable
in its calibration in my experience and that of others
I have spoken to. The 80mm ASIs by Winter and PZL
are better.
