Turn Coordinator

[Paul Sharp]

I've read about the movement to replace TCs and T&Bs with AI's. Unfortunately, the archaic FAA we have so far has refused to allow that. So I bit the bullet a year ago and put in a separate, new, electrically-driven backup AI from R.C. Allen.

Meanwhile, you have to have a TC or T&B to be legal. So I pulled out the old one this morning - it is just the simple TC and doesn't interface to the autopilot. I am getting an exchange, which will pop right in and use the same connector.

Will be nice when we can use the newer stuff and dump some of the ancient technology...

Thanks to all for the input.
