| Subject: | GRT standard probes. |
David, how have the EI probes worked out for you? I have already replaced
two of the original probes and over the past 5 hours have lost (or starting
to loss) three more. I have ~250 hours on the engine. The EI Probes are a
little pricey .. so want to make sure I am not going to have "other"
problems. If they last 500 hours, they would be about the same price based
on the failure rates of the GRT probes..
Thanks in advance for any advise.

Subject: RV10-List: GRT standard probes.
I started flying with 6 standard EIS 6000 probes. I have had five failures
in 310 hours. I don't know whether it is just a bad batch or what. I have
three of their higher quality probes (white taped leads) which were their
replacements and they have not failed yet, but they have less than 150 hours
on them. The latest failure occurred last Saturday and since I had already
ordered a set of EI P-110, I am going to change them all as opposed to
changing them individually every 50-100 hours. So far my failures occurred
at <200, 210, 250,278,and 310 hours. Temperatures were normally 1375-1420
(as measured by the EIS) and located 2" from the exhaust flange. My previous
experience with probes is 2000 hours on Insight GEM 603 with one failure and
530 hours on an EI SU8A with no failures. Has anyone else had any EGT probe
difficulties?

I have the EI fast response EGT probes on my Mooney. I'm guessing maybe
2-300 hours on them. Main difficulty is probe wires and the connectors.
Have to have good connections, and they are very prone to wire fatigue
breaks if not adequately protected from vibration, especially at the
connections. Probes themselves have been fine, installed 1.5 inches from
exhaust flange..normally 1400-1475 peak temps.

Just to follow-up. Gus F. figured out from my pictures that my baffle kit
had a CB-705A rear baffle instead of the called for CB-1005A. The parts are
almost identical except for about 1/4" higher flange on the 1005A. Van's
sent me the correct part and now everything fits like it should.
