Title: D3A Turn and Bank indicator
Post by: shdo on November 01, 2011, 10:24:30 PM

The needle on the Turn and Bank indicator is overly sensitive and peg from side to side with less than 5 deg of bank.

That's not a bank indicator. It's a slip indicator and I expect it was for accurate dive bombing.

It seems like it's still need to be recalibrated, the needle really wants to move to the side.

If it was used to coordinate turns the gauge would need marks on either side. If it is just for dive bombing it seems like it would work just as it is.
