jmills Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Hello. I tried clicking your hyperlink in your sig., it didn't work.
scottfromiowa Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Hello Matt, I am helping EI have a nice X-Mas. In last six months have purchased (via AC Spruce) approximately $2500 in EI products. Thanks for participating on MooneySpace. Looking forward to flying behind more of your products. Tach is being special ordered as we speak. The turn-around on other "special order" customized instruments from EI has been prompt. Much appreciated!

docket Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Maxwell put in my EI gauge and it is awesome. The plane doesnt run hot anymore.
DaV8or Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Hi Matt, Welcome to the forum! It's always good to hear from the manufacturers of the goodies we put in our planes. I bought one of your MVP-50s at the AOPA Summit last weekend and the guy working the booth (sorry, I can't remember his name) gave me your card to call with questions. Well, I was just getting ready to call with a logistics question, but since you are here, I can ask you on the forum and maybe somebody else will learn something too. I got sent the questionaire today by Pacific Coast Avionics to fill out and get back to you guys so you can build my unit. All seems pretty straight forward except for two things. 1) The info on the FAA approved mechanic that is going to do the install. I don't know who that is yet. I'm still looking for a shop to do my panel rebuild. Do you need this info to build the unit and send it to me, or can I get this to you later? 2) The tach time. I'm not sure when the install will actually happen, so I don't know what to tell you. I want to keep flying my plane in the mean time. Maybe there is a way to just shelve my order until I really need it? Right now I'm almost thinking of not starting the panel job until after the holidays in January. It seems the holidays will just add delay to my project and have my plane sitting in peices even longer. The only reason I bought when I did was I wanted the show discount and I really wanted my mind made up. Now come s the tough part of finding an avionics shop to do the job, oh and find a Sandel 3500 used real cheap somewhere!
ElectronicsInt Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Posted November 19, 2010 HI Dave- Thank you very much for the welcome! This really does seem like a very active board which is great! You must have met my good buddy Mac Speed at AOPA he was there for all three days.
fantom Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 Welcome Matt....how about a 10% discount for Mooneyspace members?
ElectronicsInt Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Posted November 19, 2010 Shoot! We can do better than 10% what do you need? What ever it is I'll share with you how to get the lowest price available for it:) Matt
ElectronicsInt Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Posted November 19, 2010 How about 28% on the UBG-16-4 and FP-5L-60? Normally $2426.00 between them! FP-5L-60 $519.00 #10-01045 http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/ei-fuelflowpressure.php UBG-16-4 MEM $1218.00 #10-00593 http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/ei-engineanalyzer3.php Very much below normal wholesale. Matt
scottfromiowa Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 Well #$% me...I just paid Spruce price (like a @#$ing idiot I guess) for a tach, MP, and Oil pressure/Temp gauge. N.I.C.E... NOT
DonMuncy Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 I have an Insight 602 with bars, but no numbers. JPI has offered to swap instruments with me for an EDM 700, for under $1000. This is a basic instrument but does tell me the digital temperatures. Any reason I should not take them up on it. Don

scottfromiowa Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 Thanks for the clarification Matt. I think most everyone knew that you could obtin EI products for significantly LESS than suggested retail...like every product through Spruce or other avionics vendors. I found it hard to believe that you would under-cut your volume seller (Spruce) by 28%. Although with prices of avionics (everything aviation) where they are it would have been awesome...
MooneyMitch Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Matt. Customer service I received form EI a couple of days ago was #1. You all definately have customer satisfaction in mind. Most helpful to me, since I only needed a couple of mag. isolators for the R-1 tachometer. It was terrific to speak to a real helpful person.............YOU. Thanks again and welcome to MooneySpace.
ElectronicsInt Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks Mitch!!! ANY TIME!!!! Happy new year!!!!!
jax88 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Whatever happened to our EI rep? I'm approaching annual and wanted to talk turkey about an engine monitor.
flight2000 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 He's still here. I saw he posted to Scott's upgrade post last week or the week before. I finally broke down and I'm putting in the UBG-16 and FP-5L next week. Got them from Aircraft Spruce, which carry EI stuff at the lowest prices I could find. Brian
ElectronicsInt Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 I'm here! Call or email anytime! I try to check the boards but sometimes I'm a day or two late. Best regards, Matt support@buy-ei.com 877-318-6060 Ext 113
DaV8or Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Hi Matt, Do you have a shop in California that you would recommend for installing your products? I'm having a problem finding a shop that is very interested in my panel job. I'm new to airplane ownership, so I'm kind of shocked that I'm soliciting bids for a panel redo that will no doubt cost me over $10,000 and I'm getting the cold shoulder from nearly everyone. Is it because I have a vintage Mooney? Is it because I have already purchased much of the equipment I need? Do shops really make that much off selling gear?
flight2000 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Dave, Wow, I never had a refusal for a bid on the panel upgrade when I was looking. I even went out of state for bids. The shop that is installing my EI stuff told me it would be better for me to buy it online and drop ship it to them for the install. When I was there before I left, there was a C182 that was in for work from California, so apparently you're not the only one having trouble. Brian
