My aircraft is a part built Europa Tri-Gear, with a Rotax 912 ULS engine. I realise that any battery requires maintenance, I am just looking for something that will last potentially between annuals, whereas I suspect a normal PP3 battery would last for less than three months. This battery would also only be required to power the backup ASI and Altimeter whilst I found somewhere to land (possible 30 minutes in the UK), and would only be called upon in the case of a total failure to the main electrical system. The original three devices suggested in the LAA leaflet, whilst having built in battery backup, are not cost effective in my view. My thinking is that if nothing economical in both cost and weight is available, I may as well stick with the steam driven backups of ASI, Altimeter and Compass. -------- Bob Dawson XS TG || 912 ULS || G-NHRJ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=467515#467515 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:39:49 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

Okay, how does fuel move from tanks to the engine?

I looked in the AeroElectric avionics pin out directory and could not find it, though since it was designed to replace the King KX70/75=99s I im agine the pin out is pretty close to the Kings. Is anyone able to help?
