| Subject: | RV-3 Tach Installation |
I need to replace my tach and am having trouble finding something
suitable. Currently, I have a 3-1/8" electronic tach w/ hour meter
powered by a transducer attaching to the tach drive on the engine.
I have a header tank and no electrical system. Most of the new
electronic tachs w/ hour meter I've found require 12V power. I can't
find one like the one I've got and would rather not try to route a
mechanical tach cable around the tank. Guess I could use a 90 deg. drive
if I had to. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric Sandifer

Why not use a small 12V source just for the replacement tach. I would
certainly not mess with a mechanical tach cable. Do you use any Radio
and/or Transponder in this airplane?
If so, how are they powered? I think having a small battery would do the
trick for a few hours of flight time and then you can recharge it over
night. do not archive

I use a Tiny Tach in my RV4, works great. Lithium 20 years battery, hooks to the
back of the mag switch and is very accurate. When it's not recieving a pulse
from the mag it registers tach hours. Highly recommended.

You can do like me, make a hole in the tank and pass a aluminium tube one inch
through the tank and put the rpm cable in the tube. The cable rpm come straight
to instrument.
