The stability and ideal positioning provided by the kit ensure you can leverage every bit of the craftsmanship built into your navigation instrument.

- The model for inclined bulkhead is designed - For a bulkhead tilted by 10 to 25° from vertical.
- The card remains fully efficient, even with a very high angle of pitch.
