Interesting thought. Given the extremely small and cheap rate gyros
available today (eight pin DIP package), that might be a basis for an
electronic attitude indicator; after all, it's how S-tec autopilots work.
Believe it or not, if all you're looking for is an emergency or
backup way of knowing if you're wings level, someone here in the US
figured out a way to parse out the track data from a GPS (NMEA output
sentence) and use that as a sensor. The idea is constant track=wings
level. I'll try to find the reference and post it here.
