Tim. It is always great to help :) Tell me what you will be using the Horizon for ? Which degree of turn do you want to use with your Horizontal Gyro when having to execute a 180 degree turn? 30 degree , 45 degree? How long ? Do you want to fly precision approaches? The T&B is your simple helpful device for timed turns. You obviously had one in your panel before because of the small venturi mounted. Why would you want to add drag with a bigger venturi and add weight with a bigger instrument if you can not and do not intend to use it ?? I was reading ones that in the older days of flying a T&B, vertical speed and compass have been considered a full panel. And the same article spoke about the flight instructor who set up the plane in a way that the Horizon would show straight and level , while the whole plane was sinking ..... For me a vertical speed is of a much bigger importance than that Horizon while climbing and in a cross country... Tim, do what you want - you seem to be an experienced pilot after 15 years of flying. I am expressing only my personal thoughts. You do not have to listen to me.
