Cool attitude indicator
Everyone has seen those "Laser Levels" advertised on TV. I own one,
and (although it's relatively useless) it's very cool. Wouldn't it be slick to have a gyro-stabilized thin red line projected onto your panel, graphically displaying the actual horizon? Talk about situational awareness in the 21st century! You would have to be blind not to see which way was up... This sounds like science fiction (or, at least, it did to me) -- so imagine my surprise when I found that this very system was used in the SR-71 Blackbird -- a plane that was designed and built over 40 years ago. Who'd a thunk it? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
