Not sure about the SJydat GX2, but I am sure if you phone Amptronics, they may be able to tell you how to calibrate the SKyDat GX2 (^^) ##

And all this time I have been flying with the wrong instrument. The Sjydat is the cheap "Made in China" knock-off. That should also explain why my "Preitling" watch is not working either. That little bastard that sold me all of this at the robot was lying when he said "brands names realy cheap, only 5 dollar" Should I be worried about my Rotaz motor?

Piet,
omdat die tenk die "shape" het wat dit het is dit onmoontlik om die kalibrasie 100% te doen, en natuurlik die rede hoekom ek die persentasie sticker op die kant van die GX2 gesit het.. groente... flo

At least with the Rotaz motor, you won't need to worry about the 300hr crank inspection or 600hr overall. Just run it till it dies, then fix it (^^) (^^)

Piet,
When I got ZU-DVE 4 years ago, I contacted both Amptronics and Solowings when I found that the gauge was not calibrated correctly. I am still waiting for an answer.

In the end, I know that at 75% the tank is half full, and at 30% I need to look for a landing spot.

Speak to Surge at Amprtonic. 0116792754, he is fairly helpful. As far as i know as long as you have the corerect inlet reducer in your fule flow then it should be calibrated. Otherwise send the whole thing to Surge and he will do it for you.
