   @Eiregoat It’s the little things, and you add in the fact that you get weight savings, too. Stuff like the heading indicator has to be reset every 15 minutes if you’re doing a lot of turns and stuff, which people tend to leave out, so you’ll end up seeing it goes from 2º, then 5º, then 15º, etc. off from your actual magnetic course as time goes on. The vertical speed indicator has a pretty good lag too, since it’s just pressure tubes measuring the differentials.

   If you’re ever bored the FAA does all the textbooks, they’re free and actually handy if you’re interested in the history/gear that goes into some of the older stuff. Civil aviation is kinda stuck 50 years behind.
