BTW, I notice that you report your temps in Celsius first. Most
Americans avoid metric like the plague.
Right you are :-)
The RMI I had on my RV-8 was a nice unit, but trying to work with temps in
C was a pain. A friend of mine also had a new -8 with the same engine, and
we were trying to compare temps. I was also trying to talk to Lycoming
about CHT problems. The most common question I got was "what's that in
Fahrenheit".
When I was getting ready
to do the panel in the -3, I emailed RMI and asked if they planned to allow
temps to display in F, and they said no. I believe the main reason was
that the display only has 3 digits for EGT, and you'd need 4 digits for F.
I ruled the RMI out at that point, because I wasn't going to get "stuck" with
temps in C again.
Cheers,
Rusty (never fully
converting to metric)
