Our electric AI isn't THAT far to the right. Actually, it's mounted in

OK, that sounds fine... in fact perhaps a good location for others
searching for a location for an electric AI.

Yes, it works for us. Also, it should be an easy and relatively inexpensive
installation (unlike swapping instruments with resultant requirements for
changes in wiring harnesses).

In our plane, this installation also allowed plenty of space to install an
ON/OFF switch next to the electric AI. We leave it off when flying in solid
VFR conditions, with the understanding that this will extend its life. So
far, so good. It's required no maintenance in over 7 yrs/1400 hrs (knock on
wood).
