The R-1-6 is a great instrument. [I chose EI because of] quality.
Always built well. Always dependable. Been using & relying on EI equip for over 35 years!
The reviews online were very good. Customer service has been great.
This is a high quality instrument and works perfectly. Well designed, well constructed and well documented. I couldn’t be more pleased!
Great reviews from friends using your products.
Much better quality with the bezel and buttons and knobs [vs. competition]. Also much easier to navigate and add fuel.
Nice product and fulfills the requirement.
I have never had an issue with any EI products… it looks fantastic on the panel.
Your customer support is far superior . . . . I appreciate all your help.
Works Great! Getting used to menu the more I fly — Nice addition to airplane.
The OPT-1 is more readable than the factory Cessna oil pressure/temp gauges.
My mechanic said that your product was very good, and he was correct.
