Artificial Horizon - Should it stay?

[davensocal]

Hi Bill and All-
I noticed in another thread that Eagle Tree may remove the artificial horizon feature as it seems to generate a lot of confusion.

Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to play with mine yet, but I like the idea of the feature.

I understand the Artificial Horizon is a simulation based on the servo inputs and the airspeed, and as such, there are some inherent limitations. I wonder if there are other ways to implement the Artificial Horizon.

Could a better Artificial Horizon be created with accelerometers (Spelling?), gyros, etc? It seems like a really good feature, especially when combined with servo signal recording. It may help to show particular orientations to the RF source as causes for weak/lost signal, and it sure helps to recreate the flight conditions!

I can't say that I would be "able" to purchase a dedicated sensor suite to support the Artificial Horizon, but if I had the money I would :-)

Please keep this feature!!!!! I actually like it as it's cool factor is pretty high. I think I had my log rate too high causing instability plus I'm still working on my plane in my basement so it won't be accurate I'm sure.
