    difinitively dave has me reading Madsens sight and it's very apparent that I need to tune my 026 and 260.

    After reading on Madsens, tuning seems easy enough as long as you use a good tach.

    Any suggestions on a good tach is much appreciated!

    I have a tach but I don't use it to tune. I tune by ear. I have a fast tach. I was going to buy another one I probably would go with an oppamma. My fast tach messes up if I hold it too close to the plug.

    Also, there's a guy that 3d prints holders for the FastTach. Clamps to bar.
