Millions of air-cooled VW cars got by with just oil pressure, oil temperature, and generator/alternator warning lights and little else. When a CHT gauge was offered at the factory (I think on microbuses only) it was just one sender on one head.

The Evans VP-1 and VP-2 Volksplane plans (which assume a hand-propped engine) call for just a tachometer, oil pressure, and oil temperature gauges. How necessary or useful are CHT and/or EGT gauges in this sort of plane? If you do have them, how many separate senders are really necessary?
