While I'm sure some will call me a Ludite or a fool, I'd go with a vacuum Attitude gyro. If all your flight instruments are going to be powered by electo-wizzies, I'd want a separate system as a backup. You also need a ASI and altimeter.

Are any of you aware of an independent, stand-alone, self powered attitude back-up system?

I was looking at the Garmin 495.  Its panel page shows heading, bank angle, and vertical speed.  So I assume with a little concentration, that would allow a guy to approximate straight and level flight.  But there is no “attitude indicator.”

Is there something out there better than the 495?
