I have read about serveral builders using 100% electrial guages with proper back-up system.
Are the electrical gauges better than the vaccum ?
complexity? I see them equally as complex, once you have the sytem set up its just understanding the gauages, because they both can fail and I would still have to get the plane to the ground. ( safely )
operational? I dont think I can say that vaccum are more reliable than electric, cause if the system is designed properly it should as fail-safe as the vaccuum system.
Cost effective? Do electrical gauges cost more than vaccum gauages?
The reason I am exploring electric gauges is because if I have to have an electrical system to drive my comm/nav/gps instrumentation for VFR & IFR, why not go 100% electrical or full glass cockpit.
