Is this item a thing of the past in our experimental aircraft?  I've got a
couple of Chelton screens, a GNS 430, a Tru Trak 250 autopilot and will have
a wet compass, but my panel is not set up for a mechanical gyro directional
indicator.  

I'm wondering what happens when all the glass goes TU.  Am I stuck with
wandering after the wet compass to wend my way out of IMC?  

Does anyone have a line on a 2 1/4" electric gyro?  

I think if I have an electric AH, and backup VSI, ASI, ALT etc, I'd be
lacking if I had to use all these and didn't have a reliable direction
indicator to go along with.  Any comments?
