I need to get an idea of what size EM2 display would have the

highest

demand.  I'm ordering the parts for the first production batch next

week

and

software development is 99% complete.

The EM2 will be available in two different sizes but both have all

the

same

other features.  The large format has a panel cutout width the same

size

as

a standard radio stack  (6.2") with mounting flange out to 6.5".

Total

heigth is 2.875"  with a cutout heigth of 2.5".

There are a lot of planes already out there with very little panel

space

left so the smaller version would suit them better.  The EM2-S

measures

4.7"

wide x 2.55" tall with a panel cutout window of about 3.5" x 2".The

price

for the smaller format is slightly lower but not enough to make that

a

big

factor.

So, the question is, which would most pilots want?  Any answer or

guess

is

welcome.

Thanks to all for the encouragement (& patience!) on this project.

PS:
For an example of  what took so long, I just spent a week

programming &

optimizing the damping factor for altimeter & VSI functions.  Stuff

like

this didn't even occure to me when I started.  I saw the need when

static

port pressure burbles due to turbulent airflow, wind gusts, etc

would

send

these readings all over the place.

Tracy,

If it were not for the fact that I already have most of that stuff, and
have already used up most of my panel space, I would prefer the larger
screen. But I do have enough space for the smaller version as a back up.

But sadly, the EM2 is too late for me (save yourselves).  Not so much
for the money or panel space, but I can't afford the additional time to
install something else.  I'm sure it will sell very well to all engine
types!
