Kelly Manufacturing Company (KMC) provides contact details for various departments including General Manager, Sales/Service Manager, Engineering, and Spare Part Sales. The company is based in Wichita, Kansas, and offers phone and fax numbers for communication.
KMC is the largest manufacturer of general aviation aircraft instruments globally, founded in 1932 by Ralph C. Allen. The company has a rich history in manufacturing business machines and aircraft instruments, especially during wartime. KMC acquired the R.C. Allen line in 1996 and continues to innovate with products like the RCA 2600 Digital Attitude Indicator.
This series features a digital slip indicator, rate of turn indicator, and an optional internal battery backup. Available in 2-inch and 3-inch sizes, it replaces traditional electric attitude gyros, operates on 9 to 32 VDC, and is FAA certified. It offers 360 degrees of pitch and roll with no moving parts, enhancing its lifespan.
This variant includes all features of the standard RCA2610 but adds a Pitot-Static input for more precise speed information, suitable for high-performance aircraft.
