G3 Pilot Feedback
I
recently upgraded my Baron B55 from a
GEM 1200 to two new Insight G3 2.25"
instruments. These color engine gauges
take engine management to a new level at
a very affordable cost. The upgrade used
my existing probes and wiring for the
EGT and CHT sensors and reduced the time
and cost of the installation
dramatically. I can now see the
temperature of every EGT and CHT
simultaneously in addition to the color
coded bar charts on a crystal clear LCD
screen. The lean boxes that show the
current EGT variance from peak EGT make
the leaning process very simple and easy
to monitor throughout the flight. On top
of that I get backup instruments for all
other key engine data to provide
redundancy to my unreliable legacy
engine gauges. The Insight G3
instruments make flying my plane even
more fun and safer than ever.

"During my first flight with the G3, I
very quickly learned the value of the
probe diagnostic functionality. It
turned out that this flight was also the
first flight with 6 new cylinders on my
Cessna P210 so it was intended to be a 2
hour, high power break-in flight On the
ground, during run-up, all my EGTs and
CHTs looked normal. However, 15 minutes
into the flight, the #3 EGT began to
show odd and fluctuating temperatures. I
was flying with my mechanic and we both
believed that we had a probe issue but
decided to head back to the airport and
land just in case it was something in
the new cylinder. Given our newness to
the G3, neither of us thought to look at
the probe diagnostics page until we were
actually on final. Once it dawned on us
that the G3 could tell us if we had a
probe failure or not, a quick glance at
the probe diagnostic page showed the #3
EGT probe at around 90 ohms resistance,
an obvious failure. The G3 made it very
easy to spot as the data for that probe
was displayed in red. Now that we were
confident that we had a probe issue and
not a cylinder issue, we continued the
flight, saving a complete cool-down
cycle on the new top end as well as the
time to un-cowl and diagnose the #3 EGT
probe.
Interestingly, back on the ground after
the flight, the #3 EGT probe again
showed 5 ohms. Clearly this probe was
only malfunctioning at high
temperatures, making it very difficult
to diagnose on the ground. Insight has
really touted this feature and I have
now had the real-world experience to
understand exactly why. Great job,
Insight!"
All the best,

New Graphic Engine Monitor from Insight Avionics!
It's called the G3 and I have one. It is
awsome! It provides more information
than you could possibly use and it's
only 2 1/4" in diameter! It is STC'd for
the Seabee so just put it in and send in
the 337 form and your done! Very
reasonable price also. Excellent
customer service and tech support! Check Out - http://www.republicseabee.com/
Zoltan,
I have some time flying behind the G3 at this time. I thought I would give you some feedback.
Primary screen is very intuitive and head and shoulders above any EGT/CHT display I have ever used.
Leaning has been turned into a process that “even a monkey” can do.
Probe diagnostic screen will prove to be great in the future.
I was able to see a fouled plug immediately on run up by noticing the CHT of that cylinder dropping relative to the other cylinders.
Surprisingly I reference the EGT variation screen occasionally and find it very comforting.
As a point of interest, I am burning 1 GPH less than the G3 is indicating. I have spoken with an owner of a JPI unit and he reports the same condition. I have carefully measured how much the G3 is reporting burned out of each tank and then comparing it with the fuel trucks delivery upon fill up. Consistently each tank (I have five) is taking about 1 GPH less than the G3 had reported as consumed. Is this to be expected? Notice that the G3’s count is actually safer as I have more fuel left in the tank than the G3 thinks I do.
I must say that I love my G3 and will recommend it to everyone who sees it. Until the “page” knob is upgraded to a better quality component I will have to warn them of this flaw. For the panel space there is no better representation of the engine than your G3. Thanks for producing such an intuitive product and I hope to see it mature as you gain experience with it.
Sincerely, Lane Bush
I can tell you how
much I do love my G3 engine monitor. I
have had it for almost 1 year now. It
has never given me any trouble, And it does give
you a warm feeling about the engine. Here is some data
from my last trips.
Here also is a
picture of it mounted in my Malibu
Mirage N657MC.
