I love my new EGT. Very accurate and has ambient air temperature so I know how cold my engine is before I start it. Easy to see lighting.

Very accurate readings! The “analog” style LED arc means at-a-glance tach readings that allow the pilot to keep his attention where it matters, not reading a gauge. The digital readout is great for maintenance checks and mag drop tests.

Good value and functionality. I’ve used your instruments on multiple aircraft thru the years with no issues. These are a nice upgrade over the original instruments in most older aircraft.
I like the 3.125″ format. Plus there are no hidden costs of probes you have to buy later…
