Hi Fred,
I endorse Gary Stout's observation on RC Allen reliability. My RC Allen
electric gyro horizon caused me more trouble than anything else on the
plane. I sent it back to the factory three times and it still did not
work OK. However, my RC Allen electric DG has been trouble free.
In the end, I replaced the gyro horizon with a Dynon EFIS D-10 which has
worked out well after a few initial glitches.
Cheers, John

An instrument shop tells me that RC Allen electric gyros are very
rugged, so say a lowball 1,000 hours MTBF is good. That means then an
electronic gyro box by a little Mom & Pop company is assumed to be
10,000 hrs MTBF? They may be very good items to buy based on limited
user feedback, but how could they establish such a MTBF, or assumed by
us if Mom or Pop can't?
Reg,
Fred F.
