KR> LED bar vs needle for AFR gauge

[JL]

I am using the same one. I find that I cannot see the LED's in flight due to 
the sun.

KR> LED bar vs needle for AFR gauge

[Craig Williams]

Need some insight

I am putting an oxygen sensor in the Smith.  I am leaning (no pun intended)
twords the LED bar meter because I think it would require less thought.  Just
pull the mixture until you're in the green.  Any real reason to have numbers or
a needle gauge?
