I just installed mine this afternoon. Waiting on another micro SD card to arrive tomorrow to install Stratux v1.3 b2. I don't want to mess with the one I set up to use at home with my Surface Pro 4 running iFly GPS for Windows.

I haven't flown with the latest yet, but Chris just posted an update to AHRS yesterday that's supposed to be smoother.

Yeah, not as good as an iLevel. But acceptable for $15. (I mean, really, is anyone going to fly IFR with either? I think portable AHRS is more of a toy - a gee whiz feature - than anything else. (But it will sell.) Might help if you're no gyro and became really disoriented.But if it differs from what all your gyros are telling you, which you gonna believe?)

Mike, where is the improved version posted? All I can find is v1.3b2. Thanks.
