Micro Tim altimeter question

Postby nickjaxe » Wed Jun 11, 2008 10:28 pm

Hi all I would like to fit a VSI on my mainair alpha trike but unfortunately there is no space on my instrument panel for the normal round type,

I have seen on the web those small digital ones going by the name Micro Tim for not a lot of dosh that I could fit on my panel,

The devise is an altimeter/vsi but its just as a VSI I would need one for,

Any of you guys any experience with the Micro Tim as a VSI or would I be wasting my money.

Nick.

Nick, I have never heard anything negative about them. There's a guy on the forum here that uses one. Search under members for "Willie" (user name) and send a PM. I'm sure he'll have a better answer than me.
