Subject: Pietenpol-List: Elect tachI am using a Westach electric tach that I ordered from Wicks. It has asmall generator that mounts on the tach drive pad. It is self containedand doesn't depend on a mag or spark plug for power. I don't have thecatalog in front of me now, but I think it was around $120 backthen-kind of expensive, but I felt it was worth it for not having to buyand mess with a drive cable and one or two 90d angle drives. ChetPeek was featured in the last news letter, so I'll bet he will be atBrodhead next year selling and signing his book. I have 3 or 4 of hisbooks, I think I will bring all of them and have him sign them all. Mogas vs. av gas....I haven't flown for 4 years, but the only difference Iever noticed ( beside cost ) in an 0-300 engine was after about 10 hourswith 100LL, the plugs begin to led fowl.
