Horis Use in Gliders
Experience shows that Horis can be successfully used also in gliders.
Sustained turns do not effect Horis, as long as turns are coordinated
(no significant slips or skids) and even in the continuous slip case,
only minor error in the bank appears.
However, low battery voltages may affect Horis operation. Although
Horis works also with voltages as low as 9 V, a problem may appear
even at higher voltages. A typical scenario (where gyros inside Horis
go crazy) happens when battery is at its low end (say at 11 V – with
