Cris, I meant to ask you: where did you get the ADI/flight director in
that pic? It appears to be the exact Collins unit that my Sabreliner is
supposed to have. I have found some similar models, but not the correct
one (the quantity and angles of flags are the tip-off).

I am actually looking into reading synchro phase signals with an
Arduino now, so I may soon be able to drive and read synchro
instruments directly. That would save hacking up ADF heads and other
synchro instruments. I'm having to pack a lot more new knowledge into my
brain though! :P
