Standalone artificial horizon

Hi all,

I’m looking for a reliable, high quality, standalone artificial horizon that fits cleanly in a round hole (I’m not wanting a square barnacle that “fits� into a round hole).

Does anyone have any flight experience with either of these:

uAvionix AV-30:
https://uavionix.com/products/av-30/

RC Allen RCA2610:

Any hands on info appreciated.

Many thanks,

Richard

Is this for a glider? If not, then maybe an airplane forum would yield better remarks.

LOL! It's my one and only PFD - can't get rid of it. However, I can highly recommend it.

What are your plans that require such an excellent AH? And will there be a backup
for it?

Two things;

- You can advertise that you want to buy something glider related at glidersource.com.

- ClearNav has announced the release this year of a color vario with an AH.

What are your plans that require such an excellent AH? And will there be a backup
for it?

Why would anyone want an AHRS that is *not* high quality? That seems like the kind of instrument we either want to know we can trust or else it doesn't belong anywhere near our planes.

Some of us would be happy with a $500 AH for emergency use that we might never
need, versus a $1000+ unit that we might never need. Richard appears to have far
more than emergency use in mind, so I think that story might be interesting to hear.
