Thanks John,
The EM2 has expanded to include everything you mentioned. The fuel
flow
readout will show GPH and total fuel remaining (or total used since
reset).
The fuel quantity readout in each tank could be problematic because of
all
the possible senders out there but I will work with every builder to
get
it
working with whatever they choose to install (within reason). There
will
also be several auxiliary inputs for measuring things like air temp
behind
radiator, oil cooler, etc.
Other things will include backup instruments for airspeed, altitude &
rate
of climb. These will be optional in case you don't need them.
The display I'm using on the prototype is a Vacuum Florescent Display
that
is very bright (adjustable) and looks so much better than the LCD
types.
I
hope it passes the shock & vibration tests. Hope to have a picture of
it
on
the website soon.

Tracy,
Don't know how you do it. I don't remember you mentioning that your
monitor would do all that. And I have all my appendages oem intact!
Anyhow, I will follow your project and perhaps want to use it as well
once I get settled at a new address. [Marc Wiese]
