An instrument that I have found that I like is made by Sensornetics.
It puts all the right info in digital and analog in a small space. It has
alarms, enunciators, scalable, easily readable, recordable data for later
download. I have used MGL Avionics instruments (in monochrome) and found
them to be nearly unreadable in daylight.
I also use APIC moving map software for my GPS display on a Hp PDA.
Good display info, easy, and did I mention it is FREE including 28 day
updates.

Anyone on here use Zetex? It's supposed to do wonders for exhaust
which is routed near
fiberglass. Just use high temp Silicone to bond it to the cowl
[and/or duct] and it
solves all your problems.. I know there was guys over on the
Lancair side of the list
who where doing group buy's.. not sure if any of it is left to go
around.. It's supposed to
be as good as kevlar is bullet proof..
FWIW
