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

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Tracy, EM-2 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!
