Good engineering support.
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.
Great product. [I chose EI because] you have no competition.
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.
[I chose EI because of its] reputation [and the] quality and appearance of the instrument.
Compact, precise, awesome!
Works Great!
Easy installation.
The installation was straightforward and quite easy. Reliability and accuracy far exceed the original [aircraft’s] oil pressure/temperature systems. Also, the price was about a third of the cost to replace the gauge cluster.
EI tech support is the best.
Straightforward installation instructions, great wiring harness. Quick answers from Tech Support.
Really impressed thus far . . . . a rock solid replacement for old mechanical gauges.
