This is a question I have as I start to redo my panel. I know Chris has a 700 with fuel flow so I'll direct my question to him, but if you have input please feel free. I'm open to all advise.
Chris, I see you have the JPI 700 in yours. I have one I bought for the Starduster Too. I also have a JPI 450 fuel flow. I knew the 700 allowed fuel flow but I've never flown behind one with fuel flow...I have flown behind the JPI 450 fuel flow and it's super easy to program and read....better that EI fuel flow I think. Anyway...my question is, how easy is it to read and program the 700 for fuel flow. The 450 weighs next to nothing, so the weight isn't a issue...if you had it would you use it or incorporate the fuel flow function into the 700? (Think cruiser, fun fly plane like mine not the lightest ,greatest acro machine). If I'm not mistaken the 700 allows "x" number of other functions you can add...fuel flow being one. Maybe I should use the extra function for my volt/amp meter? I do need a new one of those and want a bolt gauge and amp gauge.
