Electronics International Group Buy
I got to fly dad to Cleveland yesterday to pick up a new (to us) grain truck, and the old mechanical tach finally gave out on us. On the way home, I was cruising at 7.8 gph, 100 knots, 19" of MP, and 3400, yes 3400 RPM. At that RPM I should have been close to mach 1. It's been bad for a while because it was bouncing all over the place.
I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in an attempt at a group purchase for the EI digital tachometer. From what I've read, everyone seems to be very pleased with them.

Re: EI tachometer group buy?
Mathew Sharp, who put these buys together in the past is no longer with Electronics International however I have been talking to another salesman there and if there is enough interest I am sure we can get some good pricing.

Re: EI tachometer group buy?
I was reading on the thread about the previous group buy for these instruments and I was thinking about calling Matthew and seeing what he could do, but if he is gone, I will just wait and see if anyone else is interested now. Or maybe everyone else already has a digital tach?
We liked the original look of the old tach, but it sounds like rebuilt ones don't hold up very well, and a new one won't look the same anyway, so we might as well upgrade to the digital world.

Re: Electronics International Group Buy
How about we make it a group buy on anything Electronics International. Should be able to get 25% discount.

Re: Electronics International Group Buy
Sounds like a good idea to me! 25% will definitely make a big difference. Do you know how many people we will need to get that?

I may be interested. I don't have a CHT or EGT. The fuel flow looks tempting also.

Re: Electronics International Group Buy
The fuel flow has been on my wish-list but I just can't afford all these discounts.
I'm trying to figure out how to make the computer "ignore" this thread

Re: Electronics International Group Buy
I would also like to replace my Amp gage with a Volt/Amp gage. I cannot afford these discounts either. I have to be careful with the wants vs. needs.

Re: Electronics International Group Buy
Wants vs Needs...ugh, I feel the same way when I add up all the money invested and I still have 0.0hrs on this airplane. There is a flying Maule on Barnstormers for $24k right now. I think I'm feeling sick
But, in the interest in my fellow Shortwingers I will most likely participate in group buys! I would hate for Zac to not get a new EI tach because I didn't support him ;-)
