These Chinese Falcon VSI's are largely junk.
The rotating shaft separated from its bearings.
Could have been a jar from handling as it worked
for awhile. It was handled by a few different people in
the machine shop when the adapter was made to mount
it in an existing hole on the instrument panel.
These are much like clock mechanisms.
I had to take it apart and reassemble it.
Spent about 2 or 3 hours on the job.
Steep learning curve.
I don't recommend them. Not worth the $100 you
save over the equivalent UMA brand VSI made in the states.

Paul,
I like what you have done with the panel.
GPS mounted to the side? Have you decided to use the one that I gave you?

Thanks but I am not done yet. Wait till you see what I am doing with the PCM :)
All new better parts. PC board is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches.
I'll use that GPS (thanks) or the cheap one that I have. I am not sure where to mount it
if at all.
I am waiting for XWing to be available on the droid tablet.
Horrors of Horrors I'll buy an Ipad if necessary :) That will
be mounted in front of the stick.
The fold down UHF weather TV and camera display will be mounted up in the
front of the canopy. At 12,000 feet one should be able to receive UHF TV channels
100 miles out for real time nation wide weather and in flight entertainment :)
The camera will be mounted just below the tail wheel spring.
BTW what have you decided to with the Reno engine?
