Hey guys, long time no post! I realized it was madness to continue with my thoughts on an AcroSport II, and gave up on it a few years ago.
But! I recently started playing with something some of you might be vaguely interested in. I'm building an electronic air data instrument (as I call it) -- a little home-built airspeed indicator, altimeter, VSI, and potentially compass controlled by an inexpensive microprocessor, and displayed on a little LCD. Totally built on the cheap, and currently aimed at installation on a motorcycle (because I'm Quixotic like that).

It's not something I'd ever put on a real biplane, but I was recently contacted by someone building something very similar for ultralights (including gauges with needles). It occurred to me that I hadn't been here in ages, and this would be an excellent excuse to say hello. Then I started thinking about ultralight biplanes, then I got here again, and so I start pushing the rock up the hill again.
