Hi Dick. It works great. I'd been looking for an RC Allen electric AH, but they're very expensive for an electric unit and their track record has a pretty bad reputation for reliability. There's also the Chinese knockoff (Falcon?) that is a couple hundred cheaper, but from what I could glean, it's reliability record is even worse. TruTrak has no gyro so moving parts are almost zero in it. You can buy the T/B or A/H. The A/H isn't a heck of a lot more and you get a better bang for your buck. I think the warranty was 5 years IIRC. It fits a standard 3.125 panel cutout. I can't remember how the interface wiring went that provides ground track, but it comes with the instructions. My advice would be to buy the optional GPS receiver and avoid all the interfacing and extra wiring. It's very small and sits on top of your glare shield. The receiver simply plugs into the back of the ADI. That way, if you upgrade your Garmin, there would be no effect on the interfacing.

How is that TruTrack ADI working out ? I am thinking about buying that unit along with a 2 inch airspeed and replacing my3 1/4airspeed and 2 inch ball.(I have limited space on my panel.) It looks like you would get the "most bang for the buck" with this unit.Spruce lists a Tru Trak ADI with or without the GPS(about $15 diff).I have a Garmin 396 How does the Tru Trak tie in with the GPS to give you heading ?
Thanks,
