Wondering if anyone on the list has any experience on the 11225 gyro horizon indicator on Yak 18T's.   I have traced by elimination a fault to the dash mounted indicator.  I then disassembled the instrument and have found 1 of the 2 amplifiers / drive units in the rear of the unit is the source of the short circuit.  Can anyone suggest source or spares or may have a surplus unit that I could purchase. Going to all this trouble as I want to keep the aircraft as original as possible.

When they are working, these horizons are a beautiful bit of kit. But they

can be a nightmare when they start going wrong, and my personal view is that

it is a mistake to be a slave to originality! Another angle to remember is

that, in total, it is an extremely heavy instrument in that you first of all

need a DC/AC inverter; a very big remote gyro behind the cockpit and then,

finally, the display instrument.



If you get rid of all of those and replace it with something electronic like

a Dynon 10 you will save a huge amount of weight; give yourself solid-state

reliability, and add other features which the original instrument does not

have!



Just my personal view.

I am replacing mine in my YAK52 with the new Ultra EFIS of AvMap, 200

grams(!) of high tech with all the functionality you can imagine in one

single instrument.....



I agre with Richard, replace it with modern electronics..

Richard,

Thanks for you reply re Yak 18T A.I.   I am not a slave to originality,  its my wife's aeroplane, guess it makes me her slave. 



Tried to sell her on the Dynon last time we were at Oshkosh, no luck. 



Have had a couple of offers though for used units off the list



Thanks

Mark,

When trying to "sell" your significant other on upgrades or enhancements to the airplane, ALWAYS lead with "now this is a safety issue".  )
