Mark,
where did you put all the sensors?
Oil temp? Water pressure? etc.

question
Bill,
I should have
consulted with Tracy before I went down this road
myself. Anyway, I just installed redundant senders for oil, coolant, and
fuel. Temp sensors are very lightweight. Pressure sensors are just
a tad heavier. I didn’t get the extra data board on my EFIS, so EGT’s
& CHT’s are on the EM-2 only. Since the weight penalty of the EFIS-1
has already been paid, I figured why not go with engine instrument
redundancy. The only one I’m not satisfied with is the engine RPM on the
EFIS-1. It doesn’t agree with the RPM readout on the EM-2. Until
proven otherwise, I’m assuming the EM-2 figure is correct. Once I get
the prop installed and can run it without fear of overspeed, I can put a prop
tach on it and know for sure. Then I can calibrate the EFIS-1
RPM’s. Be sure to calibrate all sensors!
