  Larry,
  
  I don't know about the airspeed or the altimeter, but you might want
to try something with the attitude indicator.  Before turning on the
battery, cage the attitude indicator.  Leave the attitude indicator cage
until after your run-up.  This will give the unit plenty of time for
spin up.  Additonally, when you go to shut down, cage the attitude
indicator.  This will allow for the attitude indicator to last longer,
additionally you might find that it works quite well.
  
  These type attitude indicators can take a significant time to spin up
if not caged.  Sometimes on the order of hours!  We have one in the ES.
Following these steps, it works really well.  If you don't do this, I
have flown for over an hour without it fully following my attitude.
  
  Try it.  You may have something else wrong, but this has worked out
well for me.
  
  Regards,
  
  Timothy Ong
