ethelward Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Hi all, I have a rather unimportant question, but I'd love to understand the why. It appears to me that, compared to their German and Soviet counterparts, US attitude indicators tend to lag, and even lose their sense, after a bit of harsh maneuvering, and a few dozens seconds are required for them to come back to normal. Does anyone know why is that?
