Tim and COBRA,

Thanks to you both, my STRATUX is now working as it should and I no longer have the "tilted view" in EFIS MODE.

I did the "RE-CALIBRATION" as you both suggested and it worked as you said it would.

Just another example of how THIS SITE and THIS FORUM is so very helpful to pilots.

THANK YOU for helping me rectify my issue.

I finally went out to fly Tuesday. It does seem that resetting the gyros has fixed my problem.

Thanks.

Agree...

That technique really helped to solve that issue.

Is there a manual anywhere on-line that addresses known issues like this? Had it not been for this site, I would have thought the device defective and may have gone out and purchased a replacement vs. pushing a simple toggle to rectify the issue...thanks again for those who came forward with solutions (Tim and Cobra).

HERE are some of what the pages LOOK LIKE when trying to rectify this problem of "The Leans" with your AHRS in STRATUX.

Menu status page....

 

In AHRS, get to this page and hit the LEVEL button...

 

 

Should STAY level after the RESET / LEVEL, but...mine did not, which is why I had to go to the "Calibrate" button that Tim and Cobra pointed me to - thanks again!

 

See below "Calibrate GYROS" -- that was the EASY BUTTON to fix my issue!

 

 

BOOM - it's DONE.

You can also mess with this reset as well....the G METER. Not a big factor in my 1977 Cessna 150! But some of yinz are out there in aerobats! My only G readigns today were from TURBULENCE or CARRIER LANDINGS.

 

In the end, it ought to look like THIS before take-off....

 

 

And look like THIS in the AIR while flying...

 

 

GOOD LUCK!
