Cool little VSI. :) Did you really have to use a knife on the glass bits
though? On all the instruments I've seen, there's no need to separate
the glass even from the front face. The whole front just pops off, all
that remains connecting it to the instrument are two wires for power to
the backlighting.

I'm curious to see what servo you use, I have trouble finding many that
go over about 250 degrees or so. Keep us posted!
