Will,



The GRT EIS 4000 works very well and was surprisingly easy to install.  Not totally flawless, but close.



The GRT Sport EFIS is more complicated and I'm still working out some wiring issues with the interface to the EIS 4000.  But first I must get the 914 running right before I can tackle the wiring.

Will,



Peter Kember who is in our hangar (but not on this list) has a GRT HS 8.4"

EFIS and a GRT 4000 EIS in his XS/NG Trigear Kit 1000.



He had quite a few issues setting it all up, which went on for quite some

time, but now that it is up and running it is pretty impressive and does a

very good job.



I have a GRT EIS which is their original product equivalent to their current

2000 series. I have done 1900 hours with this setup and it provides some

very good engine information in a small compact box, with a big red light

for when things are going out of limits.



I also have a Dynon D10A, bought when they first brought that out but

ultimately I will upgrade to the Dynon Skview which will include the engine

monitoring.

I am wavering between this and a dynon skyview...mind you I still have

plenty plenty time before I make the decision!



Yours

Hey Will,



I have a couple of GRT Sport's + EIS.  I really like them, and for me I didn't find the configuration all that difficult.  What I like is the customer support and the upgrade paths they offer.  They are a very customer focused company... they are not happy until there customer is happy.

 



I have heard that the Dynon cost less and are easier to commission, but no where as configurable.  I guess if you don't need to have a highly configurable platform then it would be a better choice.

thanks

I was really impressed with the GRT Hxr description on the website which is what made me reconsider the dynon decision.  It doesn’t look too expensive either

I do have a basic dynon in another aircraft and it works very well.

 

I expect that by the time I get to installing the EFIS there will be something else on the market!

 

Yours

 

Will
