Doug,
I haven't yet made one of the plexiglas artificial horizons you designed, but expect to. Any advice or experience you could pass along would be appreciated. One thing I'm concerned about is the problem of a base. How do you manage this? Another is that, with adjusting screws in the reflecting surface itself, I'm afraid I'd jiggle the horizon every time I touched one of the adjusting screws. Is this as much of a problem as I suppose?
