juankeiko Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 I found this attitude indicator. Hello everyone. I found the Attitude Director Indicator (ADI). It is not like the one with the A10-C but is very similar.It hasn't the Pitch Trim Knob and Pitch Trim Index I have a very good offer and i can continue with the homecockpit. What you think?Is good, not? Like many of you know i live in Europe and find instruments like this is very dificult. See you up. ---=ONLY ANGELS FLY HIGHER=----[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Cuando llegues al final de tu cuerda, haz un nudo y aguanta.

Duckling Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Hi Juankeiko Pic shows a 5" instrument, right ? Depends of what you targeting and if the real instrument is a must-have or just nice to have. If the front size is the same, WxH 127x135mm (outside dims of front bezel) it should fit the dash. But It looks a bit symetrical width=hight, but could be dependent on the pic though. Driving those syncros is also a challange but if only for a showcase it don't matter much. Very few outside this fanatic "club" can't tell the difference :) cheers Gus - - - -

KLaFaille Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Well if you are going for accuracy vs a real ARU-2B then, the pitch knob is missing, the glide slope indicator seems to be missing, the sphere is wrong, it's missing the glide slope warning flag, and unless the internal zeroing screw is turned way up, the horizontal yellow needle should not be in that position with no power on the unit. The real ARU-2B/A is 5.0" wide by 5.25" high, bezel dimensions. As Gus mentioned, these are no easy task to make operate, and the items missing from the ADI you have pictured will not be easy to add in. The internals of these are very cramped and quite delicate for what they go through. Also, you'll need a way of providing 400Hz 3 Phase 115V AC, 400Hz 3 Phase 26V AC, and 400Hz single phase 13.8V, just to power the unit and supply the necessary voltages to the synchros and control transformers. To actually get them to work and do things, you need two digital to synchro converters, one for each axis, which are not cheap but can be made yourself, and a microcontroller to interface it with whatever data you are going to feed it. Not trying to scare you off, just telling you what you have in store for you if you go down this road. I know it well myself. Stuff (1 of 2) by KLaFaille, on Flickr Red

Stuff (1 of 2) by KLaFaille, on Flickr Red Thanks for the tips and warnings. I'm not frightened by the hard work that is to operate instruments and avionics for the simulator. If I were I would not have gotten into this world, I mean to make it real yet. Now I have taken the step and I will not take back, that's clear. The truth is that I will be hard to find the real instrumentation. From this we have discussed in other post. I asked for help and advice, and you have given me. I am very grateful. No matter how long it takes to get parts but I will make the simulator. A greeting and thank you very much for your help. ---=ONLY ANGELS FLY HIGHER=----[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Cuando llegues al final de tu cuerda, haz un nudo y aguanta.
