Looking for another solution
I am looking around for a better solution to the current air gauges I use. The work really well but the small size makes the it hard to tell the pressure when its in the jet. Something s about the size of a normal face watch would be nice. Thanks

The bigger ones are a dime a dozen, these small ones you are showing were the harder ones to find

I prefer the barb type, I try to stay away from festo type connections with air stuff.
SM, thanks for posting that I missed that one if I can get on sale when I order I might give it a try.

The price tag is, well...you know! But man, talk about robust! Typical JMP stuff...great and great expense!

Yeah I saw that, I love those things but since I do electric retracts I normally only use air for brakes, gear doors and canopy. Those air gauges are what im looking for and Country hit the nail on the head! Thanks guys!

I think I may give the dual one a try on the next project since its pretty descent price and no guess work. Now if I could only get you guys to come up with a time machine and jump forward about 9 months till I get back state side argggg

Another option, you may have a palmer store or other reseller locally for the clippard stuff

I stopped using air gauges several years ago in my jets. What good are they? You can't see them and they are really not needed. I set up my system and make sure it holds air and use the gauge on my compressor for filling. If the tams failsafe kicks in some day at the field I go looking for a leak. The gauge doesn't help me at all. Just another leak point IMO.

Vincent, I tried that on my f-15 but ended up adding one. Its just nice to see how much you have and prevents me having to hold my compressor while i fill.
Jim, well that maybe true but I have had problems with the airlines being to big and two small for festo fittings. I have used a few different brands of air line and they all seem to be different some, plus the barb is what I like.

Hey, I was wondering how things went for you at the event. I have not had a chance to attend FL jets due to the distance but if things work out next year I am hoping to attend. Hows that viper jet coming, any pictures of it yet?
