Anyone flying with the EMS-D10?  I know it has fuel

calculations in it.  Question for those flying, would

you want a separate fuel totalizer, i.e. fuelchek,

Elect International, etc?



Are you happy with the Dynon's fuel capabilities?



Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,



I removed the Grand Rapids EIS-4000 w/fuel flow option recently and installed the Dynon EMS-D10 using the same fuel flow transducer.  I am very pleased with the unit and the fuel flow algorithims/data filters in the EMS-D10 are hands down much more stable than when hooked to the EIS-4000.



I have asked Dynon to add a "Switch Fuel Tanks" alarm to their fuel page that can be programmed by the owner (i.e.. switch tanks every 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes).  The EIS-4000 had such an alarm but I think the guys at Dynon forgot to put it into the EMS-D10.  Very handy feature I used all the time.



I've also asked Dynon to allow the user to select a "Power-Up Page" (i.e I would have the fuel page come up first upon power-up so I would be reminded to "Add Fuel" to the fuel totalizer so the fuel flow features would be accurate.  I almost always forget to "add fuel" to the fuel page thus my fuel flow calculations for endurance would then be inaccurate.



Other than those two 'fixes', I think the Dynon EMS-D10 is the ticket and the fuel flow is more than adequate.  Skip the second instrument.

Pictures?  What about the rest of the wiring and the different sized holes

in the panel?  I currently have the EIS4000 too.....
