Hi Glenn
A pal of mine has just fitted a Dynon EFIS in his RV, this includes a
fluxgate compass and electronic AH, amongst a host of other features. It
saved 8 pounds getting rid of the vacuum instruments. Its early days but so
far both pilots who fly the aeroplane love the display. I had a look at it
yesterday and it is certainly very easy to read.
Regards
Pete

Subject: Europa-List: Anybody using a flux gate compass instead of a DG?
I would like to replace my ailing DG with an in-dash flux gate compass.
My compass is so tiny and hard to read I never look at it other than to
set the DG. I don't see any point of having a DG if it could be replaced
by a large readable in-dash compass. The only flux gate compasses I
can find are those made for boating. Here is one possibility:

It even has a handy steer to course function. This unit is 110 mm sq
so is a little large but sure looks easy to read!
Glenn
