CHT/EGT Indication setups

Post by matthewhinmann120cm »

Hello all,

What is everyone using for CHT/EGT indication? I currently don’t have anything installed in the plane and would like to get some kind of EMS system to monitor EGT/CHTs. What are you all using if any?

Thanks!
Matt

I have an EGT on cylinder 1. I don't find it to be of much use. I find that leaning until it starts running rough then richen till smooth works just fine and is quicker than watching EGT numbers on a gauge. I would rather have CHT on the hottest cylinder if I wanted to monitor anything.
