Simple/Inexpensive
 
One is a simply Fuel Flow and Air/Fuel ratio (LED) indicator in a package small enough to fit in the 2 1/4" instrument hole.  But, that is all the information it will provide - Fuel Flow and Air/Fuel Ratio.  This will be the cheaper version.  This will have a 10 segment LED bargraph for the Air/Fuel Ratio and a 3.5 digit LCD readout for the Fuel Flow.   
 
Hi Ed,
 
Good to see you're giving up retirement.  This will give you something more productive to do that cleaning up goose crap at the airport :-) 
 
I would imagine you will be able to sell quite a few of these simple versions to the Subaru folks that are using fuel injection.  With that in mind, I'd suggest allowing for single injector (rather than staged injector) operation.  At least I don't think the Subaru guys run staged injectors.  
 
Speaking of Subaru's, I have to admit that they sure run well in the gyro world.  The Subaru is running on nearly all the two place gyros, and they just don't seem to be having any problems, even though they run high power virtually all the time.  The gyro I'm training in has 1400 hours on it's engine!  I'm not about to convert, but I can't help but be impressed.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty
