Gidday,

Could I please request input of the preferred brands of Fuel Flow Indicators currently in favour that cope well with a second transducer in calculating the 914 usage? I am working on my panel layout and it would be handy to tighten up in my thinking what is the best option. Thanks.

Regards

Hi Tony

best flow transducers are Floscan, you will need two. Sadly they aint't cheap!

If you can find a marine or automotive equivalent they will be cheaper. Dynon use an equivalen but can't remember what its called, someone will?

btw hope the forest fires don't bother you.

Gidday Tony,



I have a Grand Rapids EIS 4000 with fuel return option on my 914. ( http://www.grtavionics.com/eis4000.html )



I don't know what other engine instrumentation you already have so this may be serious overkill for your needs, but it has worked well as a total Engine Information System for me.

Tony, if it really is just a fuel flow instrument you want 

the FS450 with 2 Floscan transducers is or at least was 

the best, but I would now go for an engine monitoring 

system which includes fuel flow rather than a lot of 

seperate instruments. An EIS will tell you as soon as 

anything departs from your preset norms, rather than you 

having to keep looking at lots of dials and potentially 

missing that plane on a converging course. That is to say 

that you have the chance of designing your panel so as to 

minimize the time you need to spend looking at it

The "cube" is made by EI.  All the EFIS and engine monitor manufacturers use it now instead of FloScan transducers.



As suggested above, since you're just starting on your panel, consider a EFIS with full engine monitoring.  We have two GRT Sport EFIS and a GRT EIS which really is the interface to the EFIS.  Works great!
