Gyro Overhaul

I am going to have my AI and the DG overhauled during annual this month. Anyone have any good references to shops they have used?

Herb,

I haven't used them myself but Aircraft Quality Instruments are highly recommended on a couple of the larger GA forums. http://flyaqi.com/

I have used AQI once for a customer plane and was happy with the results

Consider going glass with Garmin's new G5 attitude indicator. Might be same price as an overhaul on the round gauges.

He might need one or both of those gyros to drive the autopilot....

And depending on the autopilot, the G5 may be able to interface with it. Stec and Garmin autopilots will work. Of course, if it’s a Cessna autopilot like mine, he’d be out of luck.
