Kim, If your present T&B flops around, AND it is vacuum operated, it simply is not working due to no source of vacuum....A Venturi is needed.....or change to an engine that has a vacuum pump..C-90 or 0-200. Now if it is an electric unit, the wires/fuse may not be supplying electricity..check out and correct. I have an electric unit in my coupe.....and is quite useful, as it spins up with the master switch , so is ready to go immediately. A vacuum unit only attains proper spin after several minutes of flying forward..creatiing a vaccum from the venturi ( or from the vacuum pump if installed on the engine. Harry Francis

Can anyone give me an education on how mine might be driven (and how to check)... Kim Blackseth N2332H Well I guess it could be electric or maybe you have a vacuum pump? What may have happened is that you have a serviceable instrument, but someone removed the venturi just to clean things up. You might look for evidence of a venturi on the side of your fuselage. If that's the case, maybe all you need is the venturi. You might check with the list, but I think if you just have a turn and bank, a small ventui can handle that. I have my instrument packed up, but if it's ok with you, I'll hold off on sending it untill you sort this out. Cheers, Bill - Subject: Re: [ercoupe-tech] Turn and bank indicator I'd love it!

It flops around in level flight and is useless for my instrument and night training. Does anyone have a good used instrument for sale or a recommendation on a reasonable new unit?
