What do you use your instruments for.

I use my 1956 Les Paul Jr. to SHRED!

I don't use any of that stuff.....but then again I just 'drive' a GV.

[MaSonZ]

Once I'm engaged I don't watch anything.  I fly entirely by feel.

same here. if my flaps arnt coming out, i may take a quick split second peak at the speedometer just to see how much more R i need to bleed, but otherwise i fly by feel in a fight also. when landing i belly land on airfields, so i use full flaps to really bleed speed, on a CV i use the hook indicator to see my hook is out, and my flaps to bleed the E, speedometer for me to see my speed (again) and gear to well...what else, land.

G-Meter? What the hell's a G-Meter?

[texasmom]

I don't fly often. When I do, they only gauge I can see clearly is the one with the little plane that shows if I'm banking or if I'm level... so that's the only one I use.

Everything else I have to zoom, ultra zoom, grab glasses,  then try to decipher what goes with what.  What a hassle.

*edit* oh, that's not entirely true. I do use the rest of the gauges... it's just a hassle to use/see them.

Just for the sake of putting it out there, the proper name for the 'G-Meter' is accelerometer.

[phatzo]

the slip meter is an important part of maintaining coordinated flight. If you can use this it can help a fair bit with e retention and avoid unwanted stalls.

should of read the whole lot I see Anaxogoras has already mentioned it

[drdeathx]

I use my instrument for this!

...Liar... 

[Nilsen]

Ammo counter and flaps/hook if im landing on cv.

Almost never any of the others.

[MachNix]

When I’m low over water in a Goon and need more than a minor course correction, I’m on the gages – Turn Coordinator, Directional Gyro, Vertical Speed Indicator, and Altimeter.

Speed when I see a red con

Trim when missing half a plane

[macerxgp]

The only time I ever have to worry about flying half a plane is when I'm in one of those US Navy birds. whoopee, I once flew half an FM2 for half an hour straight....

Thanks, Its a Gibson Les Paul double cutaway.

Alot lighter than a standard Les Paul.

My other main rig is a Jackson soloist, but I prefer the Gibson.

I use Marshalls with 2 4x12 cabinets, one for either end of the stage.

That shot was at a friends pig roast we played for free.
