Anybody used this fuel flow unit from Spruce?

For $300, seems like a good deal to get individual fuel flow.

Individual fuel flow?

Yeah, what I mean is, a fuel flow gauge without the other computations included. All the others that are twice expensive have fuel used, fuel remaining, time to empty, all that stuff.

NOT that I don't want all that, I just wonder if this little unit works as well IF I don't want to spend $600-700 for the other stuff. Just researching here...

Ah, got it. I assume you aren't putting in an engine monitor of some type. Good for you! Let us know what you find out.

That's the plan that is becoming more and more clear. The more I look at all the Gee Wiz stuff, the more I appreciate the simple round gauges.

I know I'm a loner in thinking that these days.

Man, if I put in a 320 with round instruments and gauges in my 7, I'd REALLY be in a minority!

could go really extreme like one RV I saw at OSH, a hobbs, ASI, altimeter, and engine gauges.

Spartan.

And affordable.

I'm going for a retro look for my RV-7. I'm wondering if I can find some new gauges that look old. There might be something to be said for spartan.

This is Spartaaaaaaaaaaaa!
