JPI EDM700 v EI UBG16 - comments?
Hey guys,
I am a fim believer in the edm 700 I have used it in about 4 airplanes (182 210 421 barron) I find it easy to use and highly reliable. I wish that I could give you some info on the EI product but I just have no experience with it. As a professional pilot I fly nearly every day and I am sure glad to have this piece of equipmet to tell me what my engine is doing. It really allows you to precisely operate your engine. I also have fuel flow on the 210 that is the main bird right now and I love it. It has been truly accurate down to within about 1-3 gallons per trip. Wish your bussy good flying with whatever he chooses! matt tiberii Com CFI CFII ASEL ASES AMEL Peter wrote: Hi A colleague (who is not on the internet) is looking at one or the other, for his 4-seat IFR tourer. I personally have an EDM700 and after an initial replacement when new (buggy firmware, could not download data to a PC) it has been working fine. I am not impressed with the probes; I've had two fail in 4 years. The EDM data download feature is dreadful; often I get corrupted downloads which need to be emailed to JPI and then I have to hassle them to get around to retrieving the data. This tends to result from the data queue having overflowed, but obviously one should still be able to retrieve data on *complete* flights. On paper, the EI version looks a lot better, but I have never met anybody who has one. They claim more rugged probes in particular. Any views would be much appreciated. As an aside, wasn't there a big lawsuit in this department, some years ago? Peter. -- Return address is invalid to help stop junk mail. E-mail replies to but remove the A and the B.
