Thanks John,
The EM2 has expanded to include everything you mentioned.  The fuel flow
readout will show GPH and total fuel remaining (or total used since reset).
The fuel quantity readout in each tank could be problematic because of all
the possible senders out there but I will work with every builder to get it
working with whatever they choose to install (within reason).   There will
also be several auxiliary inputs for measuring things like air temp behind
radiator, oil cooler, etc.

Other things will include backup instruments for airspeed, altitude & rate
of climb.  These will be optional in case you don't need them.

The display I'm using on the prototype is a Vacuum Florescent Display that
is very bright (adjustable) and looks so much better than the LCD types.  I
hope it passes the shock & vibration tests. Hope to have a picture of it on
the website soon.
