As one of Levil's initial customers with their ahrsg-mini (still working in
my hummel), i like their product, but really like http://www.talosavionics.
com/ better from an ahrs and display software perspective.
For those already with a GRT engine monitor, their solid little mini is the o
bvious choice....a reall great pice of kit.
Imho of course :-)
Cheers,
Pete
