REFLECTOR:ENGINE MONITORING

[Ronnie Brown]

And the Grand Rapids Technologies EIS is a GREAT value in engine monitors.
I have one and several of my homebuilder flying buddies who have more hours
than I currently have in my Velocity -11 hours), swear by theirs.  It only
takes a small foot print on the precious little panel space there is in a
Velocity, and for less than 2 grand has 6 CHT's, 6 EGT's, fuel flow, fuel
pressure, oil temp and pressure, RPM's, volts, MAP, OAT, and what ever else
you would like.  And it is really like a smart idiot light - you can set
limits on everything and then fly the airplane - it will alarm whatever is
out of spec and automatically flash the culprit.  Great little box for much
less dollars!!!  See http://www.hometown.aol.com/enginfosys and if you have
to have the fancy color, bigger monitor then Greg has just introduced a
fancier, (and bigger) display.
