William, The i Levil 3 looks a great bit of kit, but if I understand
rightly it is providing AH/Nav/GPS/ADSB functions and no engine
monitoring. I would say you are pushing your luck flying without a
tachometer, oil pressure gauge and CHT/coolant temp gauge. CS
controllers are not infallible and if your Airmaster one has no rpm
readout you could break your engine if you hit an unlucky set of
circumstances. Similarly low oil pressure or high coolant temp can spoil
your day big time. All required by LAA for what that is worth - (which
is actually quite a lot, when you consider that UK permit accident rates
are much the same as certified aircraft and compare that with the
Experimental situation.) I would recommend a small modern EMS like the
one produced by MGL. It will display pretty much evrything and
importantly make a fuss if anything departs from the straight and narrow
and weighs not a lot.

And I figure on an oil temp gauge. And that's it.
