Will be more expensive than steam gauges, but promises to be competitive with Dynon and BMA and local is Lekka. :wink: Was installed in ZU-MGL at Ysters airshow, but they keepin MUM regarding possib...

Hey Papa - welcome to the "other side"...

I'm also keeping a close eye on the "little" engine. I'm sure it would work a dream in my Savannah!
