 After a report from a windows user about broken artificial horizon after a 
 roll in c172p and
 SenecaII (using 1.0), I tried this. I do not know if it is a feature or a 
 bug, but after a roll in
 c172p the artificial horizon is indeed no longer correct, but pointing some 
 30 degrees bank to
 either side as upwards. I can reproduce this with c172p cvs version in both 
 plib and osg branches. I
 did not manage to reproduce it using SenecaII, but maybe it changed since 1.0 
 release.

This sounds like a toppled gyro to me - does it slowly right itself if 
you maintain level flight?

Indeed it does reset, after about 10 minutes flying.

So intended feature then?

Yes - the instrument should be caged before attempting aerobatics. Same 
for directional gyros I believe.
