I'm want to install an EIS in the X-Air H that I'm currently building and it will have a Jab 2200A (#2859) on the front.  I've been looking at the Grand Rapids EIS as it seems to give me all of the information that I need at a reasonable price, but I've tried emailing them 3 times for more information and I haven't had a single response from them.  If they're like this before I buy, then there's not much hope once I've passed over the cash!



What are your experiences with Grand Rapids, their EIS and other instruments?  Is there something else that you would recommend I should looking?  Budget dictates that stuff like the Dynon are a no-no!



Thanks in advance.

I ve purchase two EIS units from Jabiru West in Fresno, California. 

Excellent service and good prices.

I had one on my 2200A and now on my 3300A.

Call Jim and see what he will do...

The March issue of Kitplanes magazine had a survey of engine monitors. But

you have to subscribe or pay $7.50 for the single article:

ht_8133-1.phtml



One new low-cost line comes from I-K Technologies. The combine LED bar

graphs with monochrome LCD displays:

Also try MGL:



Factory site (South Africa): http://www.mglavionics.co.za/



US Site: http://www.mglavionics.com/



The E2 might suit you:

http://www.mglavionics.com/html/e2.html



The E1 fits in a 3.5 inch standard round cut-out:

On the other hand MGL's monochrome EFIS is cheap enough that you could go

all glass:

If you have questions ask them on the user-to-user Yahoo group at:



http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stratomaster_users_group/



Rainier (the owner and chief designer) regularly responds to questions

directly on the group.

I'm surprised that you have not had a response.  Normally GRT customer

support is top notch.  I would highly recommend the GRT EIS.  We've sold

several hundred in the last few years with no problems.

I've got the Grand Rapids EIS with probes on all 4 cylinders for EGT  

and CHT's. I've phoned them whenever a learning problem occurred, and  

except for one occasion, they were there to answer questions. Try a  

phone call.

Ian,

Take a look at Rocky Mountain Instrument.  They make a great EFIS as well as 

an encoder.

+++ Support is super, don't even consider another manufacturer.



Call (616) 245-7707.  You'll probably get Sandy who knows as much as the 

guys in the shop.

Yes, Sandy is great, and when it comes time to "disable pages" (so  

you don't have to scroll over them if not needed), she'll lead you by  

the hand over the phone to get the job done. This is one area of the  

EIS instruction manual that could stand some improvement.

Thank you all for your input, especially Craig for all of the alternative links and to Pete who passed my email to GRT - and guess what, I had a response from Sandy!  It's good to know that some of you have had a good response to their queries/problems.  It gives me more confidence.



I now need to sit down at my computer and calculator and work out what's going to work best for me - I'll let you know how I get on.



Thanks again.



Ian
