Yeah, but Peter, is $400 really reasonable for a tach/flow/hobbs meter?
I mean, it's pretty and all...but $400?
Fair question. What do you figure the alternative costs are? I don't have
access to computer fuel injection flow numbers and thought individual gauges
could get close to this.

Several people have posted comments on tachs that run about $50.

I did not realize that flow meters ran about $200. Lucky for me, I hadn't even planned on including one. In the Delta, all you have to do is look over your shoulder to see how much gas is left.
Hobbes meters run from $25 to $50 from Aircraft Spruce.
All totalled $275 .So that doesn't save me much, using a bunch of seperate gauges from different sources, as opposed to one nice-looking instrument. I'm going to go now. If I can get my ankle twisted just so, I may be able to get my big toe out of my throat.
(I still can't believe that those flow meters are so expensive.)
