My idea on instruments is Jim Hammonds approach on his Hatz. A single knife switch on his dash labelled on and off.Burt Rutan's rule on the Voyager was if you throw an accessory up and it comes down it is too heavy to go on the aircraftThen there is the adage - If it ain't there if can't breakI know your question was about angles and not about an artificial horizon but I can't help myselfAngling the dashboard might be an idea=2C not the instruments.Date: Sat=2C 8 Mar 2014 11:36:38 -0600Subject: Pietenpol-List: Instrument mounting hint

Gauges are not angled on NX18235 and glare is no problem. Other than glancing at the oil temp and pressure once in awhile I rarely look at them.Greg C. ----- Original Message -----

Brian,They do it with a fish scale, so why not this?Maybe it would be possible to loan your binder out so others can see the old newsletters.When one builder finishes, it gets sent to the next, and so on. Theremay be a discussion in the archives about copyrights.However, there is nothingthat says I, or any other builder, can't read your copies.If you are interested, let me know off-line, and I would be happy to assist inany way I can. I just want to be in the queue.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2014 17:17:06 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Instrument mounting hint
