G'Day mate! It seems Australia has some of the same problems we have when it comes to Seaplane 'public education'. Check them out. |

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Need I explain this one? They have a bunch of stuff here! More stuff than a website should be allowed to
have! (Then again, it is the government.)

Are you running out of panel space?
This engine monitor system fits into a standard 2-1/4" hole and has all
the information you could ever want with respect to what your engine is
doing! It also records what your engine is doing in an Excel file every
second so you will never miss that little engine "glitch" that always
seems to happen when you are not looking. A very reasonable price as
well. Great customer service and support. Check them out at http://insightavionics.com/g3.htm. Note: The G3 is STC'd for the Seabee so just install it, fill out the 337 (U.S.) and go fly! This instrument is approved for primary EGT and CHT only. The additional features (fuel flow, RPM, MP, etc.) are secondary only but are extremely accurate! The customer service from Insight is second to none! |
