know about the airspeed or the altimeter, but you might want to
try something with the attitude indicator. Before turning on the
battery, cage the attitude indicator. Leave the attitude indicator
cage until after your run-up. This will give the unit plenty of time
for spin up. Additonally, when you go to shut down, cage the attitude
indicator. This will allow for the attitude indicator to last longer,
additionally you might find that it works quite well.
These type attitude indicators can take a significant time to spin up if
not caged. Sometimes on the order of hours! We have one in the
ES. Following these steps, it works really well. If you don't
do this, I have flown for over an hour without it fully following my
attitude. Try it. You may have something else
wrong, but this has worked out well for me.
Do you have the correct tilt applied to your AI? Mine came with the wrong
(8 deg.) tilt. Would always fail in flight swapped out for 0 degree tilt... no
problem.
