Personally I dont like "light shows" on car stereo's like the new after
market units. Nor on my instrument panel. I did notice the price is 1999.00
add senors 754.00 and your at 2753.00 maybe other cost need to be added I
did into see, so it is only about 500 less than the VM 1000 which comes
complete for the price listed. This is just at a quick glance I am sure
there are other differences.

To find the real cost of a engine monitor you need to add up all the
instruments that it replaces. In the case of the VM-1000:
tach
manifold pressure
oil temp
oil pressure
fuel pressure
amp's
volt's
Another BIG benifit Increased panel space.

I purchased the IK-2000 for my RV8A. Ralf is a very good person to deal
with I highly recommend him, his products, and his support.

Thanks all for the good input on engine instruments! At the risk of
starting another big string of messages on gauges, there is a company in the
Seattle area coming out with a really cool solid state AI in a 3 1/8 inch
configuration. It includes 10 flight instruments in one. They were showing
it at Arlington Airshow last Summer but just announced that they will accept
orders March 3rd.

Only problem 10 in 1 instrumentation is that you need to have your head
down while pushing buttons to get to the instrument you want to see. At
least that is what I suspect in a 10 in 1, 3 1/8 display. Recently I have
had several last minute, uncomfortable situations where another plane
passed with in 600-800 feet away. You could tell by the other planes
reactions that he did not see me either. So for me, its heads up and scan,
not scrolling through trying to find the right display or anything else.
Just my 2 cents.
