The Astronautics upgrade replaces two electromechanical instruments with a single-piece LCD.
The Astronautics RoadRunner is a simple upgrade for electromechanical instruments and even 5-ATI EFIS displays, with a rectangular flat display mounted onto a barrel that fits into the top hole occupied by the attitude indicator, with no modification required to the instrument panel.

There are few options for replacing electromechanical attitude indicators and heading indicators on medium and heavy helicopters, but Astronautics has figured out a simple solution that takes advantage of existing wiring and panel architecture while adding modern glass cockpit capabilities. The Astronautics RoadRunner, announced today here at Heli-Expo 2016, is a simple upgrade for electromechanical instruments and even 5-ATI EFIS displays, with a rectangular flat display mounted onto a barrel that fits into the top hole occupied by the attitude indicator, with no modification required to the instrument panel.
