I'm way ahead of myself here but a friend gave me this panel. Are these gaugesthe size, voltage, etc. that I could use in my Pietenpol?

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: GaugesJust an observation. Your VSI looks pegged at a high rate of climb. Might be fixablebut it might only be depressing to see your slow rate of climb.The best instruments there for your low and slow plane are (In my Humble opinion):Altimeter (Pitot operated)and needle and Ball (but it needs electricity) with needle, Ball and airspeed you can fly instruments with a little training.ONLY inadvertant IFR (recreational IFR.)Among the more senior IFR Gurus, they keep repeating "Needle, Ball, Airspeed."They might also provide some good trading items for instruments you select.Blue Skies,Steve D----- Original Message -----
