Hope I hit the right forum...
Was out flying with an instructor last week in the syndicates Rv-10 getting ready for an instrument rating renewal.
This was the first time I had flown instruments in this aircraft (normally I do a multi engine IR in a Duchess).
Each time we were assigned a new altitude I wrote it down on my kneepad.
IN the debrief the instructor told me the aircraft needed an assigned altitude alert in the aircraft.
I remember the Duchess having one - just a simple mechanic device that you could click a button above the number to increase, below to decrease, and four digits in total.
For the life of me I cannot find one on the web. Sporty's had one, but it is now discontinued. There are a bunch of electronic ones, but why pay $299US when the manual was was $12.
Anyone have any idea where I can get one? Preferably something I could velcro in when required.
Thanks
tony
