Let me repeat: I have owned and flown behind several different Insight monitors. The 602, 603 and 610 as well as the 1200. They were good monitors for their times. I still like the 610.
As far as I know, there is no problem with the G3 "display" itself--only HOW it displays the information and how the data is interpreted by the monitor software. As a result of my earlier post, the Insight people called me today requesting a conference call with their engineers concerning the issues I have raised. I am more than willing to take the time to speak with them and show them the data. The call is scheduled for tomorrow morning and is likely to last longer than they think it will. I have thoroughly read their manuals, flown behind the monitors, and they have some issues of scientific fact that need to be addressed in the G3 and it's manual. That they called me to discuss these issues is something I take as a positive step. I hope they do want to "get things right" as far as the known science and physics are concerned. The G3 software has one particular thing so wrong that it is dangerous. Another is equally mistaken but less dangerous. I am hopeful that these will be corrected.
Someone once said that the job of aviation design engineers is to create something that the pilot must learn to ignore! That should not be the case with something as useful and critical as an engine monitor.
I will report back concerning our telephone conference.
