I use the Aerox system. My only complaint about it is that the ball
flowmeter obviously has to be somehow oriented vertically, and that
means velcro-ing it to something (which is tacky and the plastic pipes
just rip the velcro off) or hanging it off the cockpit ceiling (which
is great but the pipe coming off the top of the flowmeter gets a kink
in it which appears as if it might shut off the flow. They should have
a flowmeter on which both input and output pipes attach at the bottom,
and which has a hook or an eyelet of some sort at the top. But the DIY
solution is simple enough...

The ball in the flowmeter is only used to indicate the flow rate. The
rate itself is controlled by the needle valve. This means you only need
to hold the flowmeter vertically while you adjust the valve. After that
it's fine to let it dangle in any orientation. You just need to hold it
back up vertically to check occasionally that the flow rate hasn't
changed.
