REFLECTOR:ENGINE MONITORING

[Wayne Owens]

I user his EIS to collect all my flight testing data into a laptop. The
serial output dumped into a laptop and provided  me with profiles of
airspeed, altitude, fuel flow,and all the temps. They load easily into an
Excel spreadsheet/graph and sure make it easy to determine Vx,Vy, etcetera.
