I wanted a Hobbs meter in my RV-6A Tip Up, but did not want to take up any of the scarce panel space for this non-flight critical (my opinion, and I can't ever recall looking at a Hobbs meter in flight) item. Also, I did not want the Hobbs meter in the engine compartment, firewall forward, environment.
I decided to mount the Hobbs meter to the sub-panel that is 6 inches or so behind (forward??) of the instrument panel. This allows me to check the "oil pressure" time only while on the ground and with the tip-up canopy in the up /open position.
Hope this helps...
