There is something comforting about catching a glance of a properly located needle out of the corner of your eye.

Pappy,
Even if the flat glass looked like "round dials"? Or is three dimensional, mechanical the better look and feel?
Your feedback as far as a HUD is interesting. One of the guys I know produces:

It's a HUD that projects on the propeller.
More than stability, would you also do forward looking RADAR for collision avoidance? What about lane departure warning?
I was thinking of putting together a modular sensor package and having it displayed on the dash or HUD. So, augment the forward view with a FLIR / RADAR or both up to somewhere around 450 ft.
Just trying to get an understanding of where that edge of what would interest folks is verses going overboard.
Thoughts?
