flight Instruments on the Cheap
"GeorgeB" wrote in message ... It might be realistic to look at Dwyer Instruments; there are many offerings. In particular, the $50 unit http://www.dwyer-inst.com/htdocs/air...riesMWSpec.CFM is 0-55 kt, resolution of 0.2 kt. Accuracy is about 5% of reading. There are mini-pitot based models, rising vane (as used on some ultralight type craft I've seen) and these rotating units. That would certainly address the bumpy conditions issue. But the bumpy conditions really aren't a problem even on approach. It doesn't actually bump very much. What kind of aircraft are you flying? |

I don't fly, but enjoy reading and learning; unlike others, I TRY to
not do anything that even smells like trolling. On Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:54:34 -0500, "Maxwell" luv2^fly99@cox.^net wrote: "GeorgeB" wrote in message .. .

Nothing wrong with that.

Mine lasted 75 Hours and than they ask
for $ 350 Bucks to have it fixed. If you like to get some crap and fly dangerously go to Falcon Gauges or Wultrad, Inc.

Well you can buy some cheap ones made in China from lots of places. Google Aircraft Spruce. They might or might not work when you get them but don't worry they won't work for long. Seriously though, check EBay. |

That was the reason that I delayed ... but I realised that for my .purposes (backup for an EFIS) I would only be flying VFR and the only time I *really* needed a backup ASI would be at landing time, when my speed would be low enough. http://www.eel.de/images/innenseiten...ulf-1_02_L.jpg -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |
