    My EIS logs hours once RPM is registered above 250rpm

    I bought the Honeywell with a 4psi pressure switch. Haven't connected it up yet but it looks simple enough. A simple "T" fitting with the pressure switch held by a S/S L bracket attached to the firewall.

    I'm willing to bet a few cups of tea (hot) that your G3 has all that data. Why would you want to clutter up your panel when it's all there for you at the flick of a button?

    Like Esser, I know you can configure the MGL stuff to start counting above XXX RPM and I reckon the Garmin product would have the same capability.

    You know what Paul, I think that rings a bell. I guess I need to delve into my Garmin manual and make sure that is the case. Thanks

    If you are talking about the Garmin G3X, yes it logs engine and flight hours. They are displayed on the bottom of engine page.

    I was thinking about installing an old fashioned Hobbs meter, but realized that it really wasn't necessary with the G3X.

    Anyone have a pic of their mounted OAT gauge for the GARMIN G3X? I just can't figure out where I would mount this thing. Inside the wing root? Through the top of the windscreen? I don't know.
