I have experimented with an ADI driven by the simkits 
MultiController, and though it doesn't do a 360, with the right 
servos is can move pretty quick. I was actually quite impressed by 
how well it worked.

I'm not however, going to use one in the A-4, I have such space 
constraints that I have ended up going with the 'ole "software ADI on 
the LCD screen" approach.  I ran out of space to squeeze all the 
displays into the main panel, so I have opted to go with bigger 
(cheaper) displays and give up the physical ADI :(

I will take a peek at the Flight Illusions Altimeter though.
