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!
I like being able to get a hold of a technical expert immediately when calling into the main EI phone number… The build quality of the sensors, display unit and EDC seem very good… I appreciate the business practices of EI and have had an EI R-1 Tachometer which has worked flawlessly for the past 20 years.
Easiest company to deal with and an awesome product! Price, Certified for Primary, and Features.
Installed digital volt/amp gauge in PA 28-181. Great unit easy to install. Much better than original.
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 heard only great words about EI… Won’t be able to install till at least April but I know you are very helpful when it comes to questions.
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.
Straightforward installation instructions, great wiring harness. Quick answers from Tech Support.
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.
Great product. [I chose EI because] you have no competition.
Some of the best customer service in the avionics network that I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. [I chose EI because of the] features, simplicity, and the user-friendly platform.
While the installation is not quite done yet, I have seen the unit in my aircraft with the engine running and the monitor producing numbers. It looks very good and I cannot wait to go flying with it!
