Has anyone used the K-Planes with the indicator that integrates with the vessel view?

How accurate are the Vessel View Indicators?

Also could a second set of indicators be modified to register Arneson drive trim?

Any help would be appreciated.

I am just guessing but. They should be very accurate. I doubt that you can run them on Arneson drives as they will have a different stroke

They all have the same basic stroke of 3" so it should work

Looks like that's going to make me the guinea pig!

Anyone have a picture of what the indicator looks like?

I imagine I will have to fabricate some means to attach to my ASD-8 Cylinders.

It cannot be that difficult as all you need is the indicator cable and make a clamp to hold it and then a clamp on the cylinder to make it move.
