> I couldn't find the EI web page,
Good Morning Frank,
Try: <A HREF="http://www.buy-ei.com/">http://www.buy-ei.com/
Interesting that they wouldn't help. I have found them extremely cooperative
and helpful.
Incidentally, while I like the Shadin products, I have found their service to
be extremely variable. Years ago, I was able to get good advice most of the
time. The last few years I get the impression that they are no longer
interested in the small GA aircraft. Anything less than a King Air and they don't
want to bother.
JPI may not have the best built stuff on the market, but it seems to work
well and they have very most responsive folks in their service department. Every
year at Oshkosh and Sun 'n Fun, Joe P. is right there at the counter selling
his product and listening to what his customers want.
It shows!
I have Shadin fuel flow and Insight Gem in my personal airplane. They both
work great.
However, if I were buying new today, I would have to consider EI due to their
quality and JPI because of how hard they work to make the customer happy.
As to the approval you made and Thom needs, I think I would try to have your
IA discuss it informally with his supervising inspector.
A good IA will have a decent working relationship with at least one local FED.
Some would prefer that it go through as yours did. Just list on the 337
what was done and submit it as a straight 337. Others would prefer that you ask
for a local approval.
In the past, most wanted to go the "local approval" route. Since all of the
hassle the last few years with local approvals, many have slid over to the
position that minor alterations are better. I have even had a 337 returned
because my supervising inspector said that what I did was just a minor alternation
and didn't require a 337.
Times and procedures do change.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob
