Hi Gums, I have an app called IBFD (integrated backup flight display) on my ifone - remarkable.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/appadvi...1195301027.amp


I have tried to fox it by doing loops and rolls - no problem, aligns in a second - even whien airborne. However, one day I stuck it to my car dashboard - not quite perpendicular to the direction of motion (angled slightly towards me) and after a few minutes it showed around 3 deg false bank. Very soon after that it showed the wrong heading then ‘toppled’. Interesting piece of software, better than nothing in a corner.
