Part auto gas, part 100LL, Replaced sensor at every 100 hours Mark Jones 2. Exact set up as Mark Langford. very useful and accurate. Run 100LL, no problems after 80 hours. Joe Horton 3. Pep Boys universal sensor lasted about 120 hours on pilots side exhaust, run 100LL. Local speed shop meter, $90. Building a new stainless steel exhaust, a boss on both stacks and install O2 sensor in both with toggle switch. I use the exhaust temp to lean more than the O2 and could live without the O2 at all. It is useful in adjusting the carb for winter and summer flying to know when the weather has affected the overall settings. I do use it as a cross check. John Gotschall 4. Same as Mark Langford. Modifying meter for cockpit side wall installation. Bought two Bosch oxygen sensors for $15 on ebay. Stephen Teate 5. Using three Bosch #BS11027 O2 sensors: One at the turbo for the computer and one in each exhaust pipe so I can read each bank separately. Same instrument as Mark and a SPDP switch to select which bank. Photos not yet available. Dave Goodman 6. Same as Mark Langford. Sid Wood 7. Same as Mark Langford. Contact Sid Wood off line for a copy of the PowerPoint that has the same info as above. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA sidney.w...@l-3com.com
