WOW these look cool, did anybody see them yet?

37 bucks for 2 guages, and they are the size of a dime!

BVM gets more of my money!

Default Yep

Just saw them earlier Matt. I agree. Good stuff!

Shows that Bob and Co. are keeping an eye on what accessories we all want to have available.

Note also the price of Aeropoxy this month! LOL!

Looks like the Festo gauges, but with a barbed adapter added in place of the 4mm metal tube.

I used two of the Fest gauges in my BC and they work great. I'll post a picture later...not sure how much they were though...I stole them from Gordon.

Default Hi Bob

Hey Bob:
Well I know you have a love for the F-18,,,, Maybe one of those.
After the F-4 went in I started acting like a dog and went arf arf arf. I finished up my Hanger nine new 182 and the new large P-51. Flew the 182 and man that puppy is sweet. I have not tested the P-51 yet but will in the next week or so. I finally started back on the F-18 and got the gear together and air bottles in. I am at a point of just installing things. She is pretty much ready to go. My friend Monty Welch test flew his CAI Panther this weekend and had a great flight. I am not sure if you know him or not.

Even though I do have a "you know what" for the F-18 I don't know if the big Hornet would be such a good second jet. Maybe third though I was thinking an F-15 (Yellow or CJM) or maybe the new Typhoon from Planes Plus.

Here's a pic of the Festos.....

The other ones would be easier to install because they have the right sized barb for airline. Either way they are great additions for monitoring the health of my newbie air systems

Hey !! Don't be saying that ! Next thing you know, Sideshow will be trying to give me his used Festo gauges back so that he can go with the shiny new PSI units !!

Since I finally managed to get rid of the Festo ones, I sure don't want them back

Yeah - the BVM ones are PSI, but the similar looking Festo ones that you see in Sideshow's pic are in bars. (So are my CJM ones BTW)

My bad!!!! I turned 40 and my eyes went to pot...I need to get rid of a Festo guage that I have that reads in bars in my AMT Eliminator.

I really like these over the ones I currently have as you can read these from the top as well as from the face.

Sorry to say.. you haven't seen a smooth install until you've seen a Bill Brundle install. His Bobcat (and the one he did for Jon Vance) just something scary. His work INSIDE the airplane is better than most of us do OUTSIDE.
