What does something like this cost?

Paul Lamar

$5000-8000 for the whole enchilada,  an IMU box.

Marc Wiese

Maybe the guys selling these back up PDA based solid state attitude displays
for $1400 are not using these SS rate gyro's. Perhaps they are using the cheap
model airplane SS rate gyros that sell for $100.
