Installing [EI’s FP-5L] in my RV 6. . . owned an FP-5L 6 years ago in a Cessna 206 on floats in a commercial operation in Alaska. Getting every ounce of payload, and coming home across Cook Inlet with the Cessna gas gauges near or on empty, I spent a lot of time explaining the benefits of the Fuel flow gauge… and reassured my passengers there were 12 gallons of fuel on board. I’m a believer…

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.
I have worked with your products before and I like them.

Working with EI representatives from the OSHKOSH show and sales representative has been a pleasant and positive experience. They have been very helpful, truthful and knowledgeable about EI’s products. I have yet to see the MVP-50P in action in our plane. Waiting for the Top Overhaul to be completed. We are glad we secured your product at the airshow. We had no idea, that a few weeks later, we would need to have a Top Overhaul. What great timing! Having your engine monitor installed in our plane will hopefully help us keep it out of the shop for further engine repairs.

[The EAC-1] looks great running… The wiring harness was very well fabricated. Installation was easy- fit perfectly in an existing hole in panel. The brightness of the display is excellent.
We have other EI products currently and have always been satisfied.
