If you buy one get the Zero to 100mph gauge. I can't tell you now many Avids and Kitfoxs I've seen with 180mph ASI in them. The first tick mark on your indicator in a 100mph airplane should not be 40! That's like having a speedo that goes to 200 in a Pinto. Makes no sense.

I would go atleast 120.. VNE on some of these is 135, and I routinely have it hitting 115-120 in a decent.. Well, that is 120 on the dream-o-meter anyway :lol:  The GPS rarely shows over 100 unless I have a big tail wind.

Check out the Spruce catalog for more info - some 120 to 160 mph ASI have lower markings than others - Think my 150 I got from Spruce is marked at 10 or 20 - in storage with panel right now.

I averaged out all your suggestions and went with a 140 max.  Found the best price at  from Gulf Coast Avionics.

I guess you found what you're looking for?  I checked with everyone, no one has that size. :(

Chase,

Sounds like your ASI was very accurate at that speed - Airspeed almost never matches GPS groundspeed anyway. Good cruise.
