A clear capable replacement for a cluster gauge. Vivid colors used which make it easy to see engine status at a glance.
I have worked with your products before and I like them.
Awesome Product! Great product and fantastic support!
Great tech support. Someone always answers and gives accurate concise information.
Good support when we called with particular questions with the initial setup. We liked the functions and the price.
Great product, frees up space
Very affordable… great installation instructions. [I chose EI because of its] price point, certified primary.
I installed a VA-1A Volts/Amps Insturment [sic] in my 1970 V35B to replace the original analog amp meter. What a great dual purpose digital gauge! Installation was simple and the product is very well made. It goes well next to my SuperClock I installed a couple of years ago. EI makes great products and this one will satisfy the most discriminating owner.
Great Product, that provides a lot of very helpful engine data in an easy to use and see display! We are already finding cylinder cooling issues that we would’ve never known about before, and probably explains why we’ve had to replace that specific cylinder in the past. EI customer service on questions on how we wanted to set ours up was very helpful and positive. The CGR-30 had quite a few positive reviews online from other users.
I have never had an issue with any EI products… it looks fantastic on the panel.
[I chose EI because of its] reputation [and the] quality and appearance of the instrument.
Always very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Over time, I have purchased six different EI instruments for the two planes I own. The instruments are easy to install, very accurate, and dependable. EI has very stable and easy-to-operate instruments.
