How did you get on with the Vega EMS?.
I am considering one to free some panel space
with the benefit of hindsight, I'd probably go for the 3.125" Blaze version and get the bigger screen size, but the Vega size is manageable. It is very clear and bright, its just that the 4 bar graphs afor CHT & EGT are a bit small. It was installed in place of a dual EGT which was a bit iffy. I previously had no CHT. I'd suggest printing the image in the manual to scale and sticking it on your dash, just to see of the numbers and bars are big enough for you.
Mine is used on a Rotax 582, displaying Battery Volts, 2 x CHT, 2 x EGT, Water temp, and I'm using one additional Analog Input as a low fuel alarm controlled via a LED level switch in the fuel header tank located behind the seats.
All inputs have alarm levels set for high and low, and these trigger a large Red LED on the panel. The Low levels ensure minimum temps have been reached before take off.
It's all in and calibrated with the exception of water temp which is my next job. Water temp is piggybacked off the existing analog water temp gauge. The flexible set up allows both gauges to run off the single sensor.
This was fitted as a part of a quick reassembly of the aeroplane ready for last spring! That turned into a bit more than a reassembly and it is only now ready for test flight, just in time for short days and the strip to waterlog! Ground runs are all it has done, no in flight report as yet, but certainly promising.
The quickest way to fall out with people is, discuss politics.
