Dear folks I've got my RV7A with 41 hours of total flight time using the G3X Touch dual GDUs 460 .
However during my last flight after about 30 minutes cruising completely leveled at 7500ft on nice and normal day I got the message AHRS ALIGN and the EFIS was showing me in a step bank curve although I was completely leveled.
I tried to boot it up to ALIGN but with no success. Turned off and on the auxiliary battery everything did no good it continue to malfunction an show an erroneous attitude untill the end of flight. But in the next flight it worked fine.
If them I needed the EFIS to show me my attitude in a emergency situation I would be in serious trouble.
So I ask -
What could have happened? Does it need to be changed? Can I put a backup AHRS that would engage automatically if one fails to align?
I apprecciatte all help because I can't stay with a expensive top of line System like Garmin G3X that would put me in life risk in case I inadvertently get into an IFR situation.
Pictures of the inflight warning that lasted throught the entire flight (note the attitude it indicates despite I was completely leveled)
Thanks in advance.
