The one suggestion that I would make is, if you get vacuum gyros, get ones
with vacuum flags.

One of our club aircraft, as a result of water damage, needs a new AI and
DG. But rather than just replacing the units with the same type, we're
going to give careful consideration to the possibility of an upgrade.
Since this is prime flying time, I've been given an entire day to collect
possibilities.

So...what are the possibilities?

I briefly considered suggesting that we ditch the entire panel and put in
an
Avidyne. But that doesn't really help, as we'd still need "steam gauge"
backups. So, sadly, I put that behind me.

A quick search of my notes (I've been day dreaming for a while {8^) found
products like:

http://www.lifesavergyro.com/technical_home.html

for the AI, but I'm curious what other options exist and what
suggestions/opinions people here would have to offer. I am also starting
from scratch WRT the DG. HSI? I seem to recall seeing something about a
"digital" HSI that had some other interesting features.

Thanks...
