Hey gang,

 

I would appreciate hearing opinions and rationale on whether or not it is wise to install a chip detector on an aircraft engine/IO-550N.  If it is wise, what device is recommended and where is best to install it?  Here are a couple I know of:

 

1) Allen Aircraft

2) Tedeco Industries

Thanks,
