that's called an inclinometer, it only gives bank info (actually slip/skid),so it is not a turn and bank. These are pretty common, you see them a loton ebay. Wag Aero or AS&S sell them too, but this one is an older type.This doesn't really serve much purpose once you have the airplane rigged(unless you plan to do some outlaw IFR) If you buy one, I would advocateputting it in with carpet tape until the airplane is rigged, then removingit.----- Original Message -----

Gary,I believe that is Craig Aho's Pietenpol, that was destroyed in a hangar fireshortly after he built it. The inclinometer on the panel (a Turn & BankIndicator is a gyro instrument with a needle to indicate the turn rate andan inclinometer to indicate a slip or skid) probably came from a Marinesupply house. Sailboats often have such instruments to indicate the amountof heel they are experiencing due to wind loads. Check out West Marine orBoater's World.For about the same money you can have a real aircraft turn & bank indicator(non-functional except for the ball). I bought a defunct electric T&B atSun'n'Fun last year, cut the heavy gyroscope off of it, shortened the case,glued the needle to remain centered, and installed it in the front cockpitof my Pietenpol so my passenger can know how badly coordinated my turns are(as if the wind hitting her on one cheek won't give her a clue). I have areal working vacuum driven Turn & Bank in the rear cockpit, also bought atSNF for the princely sum of $22, plus $8 for the venturi to drive it.Jack -----Original Message-----
