Just tried to purchase a cylinder head temp sending unit and gauge for the engine I'm building to find that nobody has any! According to aircooled.net:

"These gauges are temporarily unavailable, but they are due to be back in production some time in early 2016!"

Has anyone heard anything about this?

A Falcon 2 channel gauge costs about the same amount from aircraft spruce

I ran into that a couple of months ago. I purchased a Dakota Digital with thermocouple from Summit Racing. I am pleased with it. It will actually read the correct ambient temperature before starting the engine.
