Just about to begin flying with the EI MVP-50P, so no in-flight feedback yet. But I did study the user manual, then sat in my plane going through the screens, menus, etc. It was very easy and intuitive to locate everything, so I’m confident that it will become second nature to do this in flight… Very happy with all interactions with EI.

Excellent tech help…
I won a FP-[5]L and had it installed in my c150. I was/am impressed with the accuracy and ease of operation of the FP. I wanted a new tach and I trust (and verified) that the EI R-1… would be my best choice. I am not a rich man. These instruments are affordable and incredibly accurate. Already planning my next buy from EI.

This is the third EI instrument I am having installed in “Lillybelle .” I am impressed with the ease of operation, the affordability and the accuracy of each of these instruments. For years I trusted my life to 50+ year old gauges. Now I don’t have to. What a relief!

Easy installation.
Your product didn’t feel cheaply made. Overall much better quality with the bezel and buttons and knobs. Also much easier to navigate and add fuel.

I have been installing avionics since 1996. This was THE BEST wire harness I have ever seen!
Very affordable… great installation instructions. [I chose EI because of its] price point, certified primary.
