Speaking of artificial horizons, my turn and bank indicator has been making
lots of bearing noise lately, and yesterday while flying I noticed it wasn't
working anymore. A little later it started fogging up, which didn't make
any sense...and then it got REALLY fogged up. I thought "gee it's pr
You will have to send it to a shop and have them reset the Angle. I had one
rebuilt and they set the wrong angle and it started to wear the face off .It
was rubbing on the glass.

between a stock instrument and an 8 degree instrument. In an 8 degree
instrument, the gyro is mounted 8 degrees off the horizon and the horizon is
centered in the instrument at an 8 degree tilt to compensate for the tilt of

worked on had a tilted platform built between the instrument face and panel
for
proper positioning in the panel.

The 8 degree means that the user had a panel that was 8 degrees off of
