Easy installation, lightweight solution. It looks good and is easy to use. [I chose E.I. because] I needed to replace my old Hobbs meter. This provided more functionality, allowing me to remove my old digital timer, and EI programmed it to my current airframe time.

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.

The OPT-1 is more readable than the factory Cessna oil pressure/temp gauges.

I really appreciate the quality of communication about my order. The instrument offers the right functionality (being a primary instrument) in the right form factor for my application.
My mechanic said that your product was very good, and he was correct.
