Thanks Ron .

The above picture was taken when the gyro was flying with the sun at the worst position.... above and behind. The picture is not as clear as in real life.

Yes... the advertising picture is better than the real display.. but there was not a single time that i needed to glance on the instrument a second time to read it. They are very readable. You can also adjust the contrast so it will suit your preference.

I have no difficulty reading numbers, graphs or analog gages.... i thing it depends on what each person is used on reading.... a bit of time to get used to it and it should be easily readable from anyone.

Paul,
I find the digital instruments much better, in direct sunshine or under shadow. I was skeptical too from the beginning like you, until I saw them in reality myself.
It is really easy to read in all conditions as Disco 1 mentioned above.
You cannot judge from this photo.

Nicolas, nice your throat is better and your voice is coming back.

Giorgos.

If you are not flying it is because you are dragging your feet.
