Now I'm wondering if the 8 degree tilt and the face alignment wasn't 
what the owner was noticing and thought it was acting funny.  I've 
been in that RV twice and don't recall the panel being tilted.  If it 
will function o.k. in a vertical panel that's all I need.  I'm really 
just looking for a "wings level" indicator or something to help me 
make a shallow 180 degree turn if I ever need it  I already have an 
electric T&B and only run it maybe 5 percent of my flight time.

Thanks............
