I'm doing this at the suggestion of Ryan Mueller. I need to aquire an airspeed indicator in the 0-to-80 or 120 MPH (maximum) range. I have priced the UMA at Aircraft Spruce at $168.95, the UMA at Chief Aircraft at $162, and the Falcon at Aircraft Spruce at $158. I just wonder if anyone on the list has any knowledge of the Falcon gauge. Ryan says he doesn't know anything about it. All the gauges are available in 0-80 MPH, 0-100 MPH, and 0-120 MPH. Any of you actual Piet pilots have any comments on any of these gauges? I would appreciate any input.

I have the same question. Recently on William Wynne's website he said this" Beaware that low-cost instruments like Falcon have been made in China for thelast 15 years and they are junk. You are far better off buying used stuff thatstill has OEM Cessna stickers on it, or some other marking that IDs it as a domesticproduct."John--------John FrancisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2012 19:55:03 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Airspeed Indicators

That must be why everyone groups their primary flight instrumentsso they can dutifully ignore them. JGary BootheNX308MB
