Personally I would separate the rpm side. I don't think you need it.
I'm not a 100% sure you can run all three parallel.


Rob or Conrad,

Any thoughts on this parallel rpm setup?

Hi. Its very comfortable to have this analog one near speed indicator and to have digital eis for alerts and another data.
I found duri g test flight that on 2000rpm i have the same readings but on high (5000) i have about 250 rpm more on digital.

I found this:

"Then with the engine running check the accuracy by multiplying the frequency by 60 and comparing with the rev counter value. Note that the rev counter may not be completely linear. That is to say that it may read high at idle but low at higher RPM."


Anybody had experiences with this?

And I found this one.



So I have to check it with frequency counter first.

Ok, It was rotax gauge problem. I tuned it by hidden regulator on 4000RPM and now it's ok (on high rpm).
Anyway it's not linear. On low I have about 100rpm to high but on 4-5k it's equal to digital one.
Digital one is more accurate..
