I am about to jump into an F1 project (#141T). I want to use the newer
electronic instruments solely but don't know much about their reliability
and accuracy. Would it be wise to stick with the traditional dials or can I
rely on the electronic stuff or maybe a mix?

Jim, Im using the Rocky Mountain engine monitor in my RV-4. I have been very
happy with it. It has been RELIABLE and has all the functions you would
want. There are several different types out there that are good I`m sure.
You soon learn the scan sequence. I can fly heads up because if anything
gets out of tolerance it beeps in my headset and the function thats out of
tolerance flashes .Personally I wouldnt use steam gages.

Can anyone tell me what the cowl to spinner spacing is for an MT 3 blade on a Harmon
Rocket II?
So far I'm hearing 3.00 and 2.75"
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
This decision should really be based on what you plan to do with the aircraft as
well as preference.
I have a Blue Mountain EFIS 1 that is great for, and not damaged by, aerobatics.
It appears to be reliable and intuitive.
I find however that after 35 years of steam guages I am having difficulty with
my scan and instrument interpretation.
I am used to observing the position of needles with my peripheral vision. Much
of the EFIS system is direct digital readout and this slows my scan considerably.
I suspect the newer electronic instruments are more reliable and durable but if
you are a dinosaur like me you should go fly one before you buy one.
