MGL Avionics Vega 2.1/4" colour instruments

New generation smart singles.
The Stratomaster Vega range consists of twelve 2 1/4" color display based instruments (some still to be released).
Using a high resolution color graphics display, these instruments provide excellent daylight readability, even in direct sunlight.
In addition they all have built in backlighting making them easy to read at night time.
They include a rotary control plus 2 independent keys for easy menu navigation and to access specific instrument features.
All engine monitoring Vega instruments have the ability to interface to a MGL Avionics RDAC unit.

AHRS1/AHRS3 artificial horizon and magnetic compass display The AHRS1 is a 2.1/4” sunlight readable color display instrument providing a display for an artificial horizon reference system (AHRS), an advanced digital compass, or both depending on which sensor packages is connected. The AHRS1 can be setup to display the following: Compass with optional slip indicator (requires MGL Avionics SP6 sensor package) Horizon with optional slip, turn indicator & G-Force (requires MGL Avionics SP7 sensor package) Turn and bank indicator (requires MGL Avionics SP7/9 sensor package) Combined compass and horizon display with bank indicator, optional slip indicator & G-Force (requires MGL Avionics SP6 & SP7 sensor package) The AHRS3 is identical to the AHRS1 but with built in attitude sensors. The AHRS3 does not require the SP7 sensor package to display the attitude, but requires the SP6 compass sensor package to display heading.
