By the way , the G-meter whose LCD I have damaged is a GT-50, bought from Aircraft Spruce, and maybe I should tell you what I think of my purchase.
That thing is a 5-in-1 electronic instrument that fits a standard 2 inch aircraft hole. It has 5 functions: G-meter, voltmeter, clock, stopwatch, Hobbs (= timer that starts when aircraft power is on) Of course, you can display only one function at a time; you toggle between functions. It uses 2 AAA batteries for standby power (keep clock and memories alive). What I like about it: - The large LCD display with huge figures, no clutter; - The efficient backlighting (although orange would not have been my color of choice) - The very good MMI, no-nonsense; only 3 buttons, everything darn logical. What I don't like about it: - The enclosure (box) is definitely substandard. A bad aluminum sheet metal work, not even sealed, inaccurate finish... - Connection by three loose wires (no lugs) - The screws are not provided, which is a pain, because it has thraded holes, and of course, imperial standard. All in all, for $154.00, that's good value for money by amateur aviation standards. Serge Vidal KR2 "Kilimanjaro Cloud" Paris, France
