Hi all,  I've been searching the archives for references to Vans instruments such as the ASI and Alt.  I vaguely recall people complaining they are cheap Chinese instruments and are difficult if not impossible to calibrate.  Vans web site has them made by UMA which I presume is US manufacture.  Anyone have any comments or experiences.



Thanks,

Greg RV8 buying & fitting instruments

I only have an UMA vacuum gauge and it is fine.

Guess what? Just because it is a American manufacturer it doesn't mean it's 

not made in China. I know for a fact that some of the major manufacturer's 

have gyros made in china with their emblem on them because they are 

assembled here.

I've got the Airspeed, Altimeter and Vertical Speed all from Van's. Only 35 

hours so far but no complaints.
