Almost, but it doesn't give pitch information. That's the only parameter 
missing using economical sensors.
I wonder if a gimbaled magnet sensing dip angle would do it? Remember the 
Bohli compass. A lovely instrument that was banned in competition gliding 
because it could be used as an attitude change indicator in cloud. Cloud 
flying was felt to be cheating/dangerous in competition.
