Some of the Cassutt racer guys use the squeeze bulb fuel pumps that we all have
in our main fuel lines as an air pump to pressurize the fuel tank. Put a tee
in the gas tank vent line and a check valve in the atmosphere end and you can
pump up a couple pounds of pressure,,,,,3 pounds max for the tank but just get
a low pressure gauge 0-10#....You only need 1/2 pound for normal ops......some
of the guys use a tube they blow in for pressuring the tank on takeoff with
another check valve in that line........Cassutts have fuel flow problems in climb
attitude and no electric to save weight.....
Any simple way you can get the job done works for me.....you don't
really want to complicate these machines do you ? Pretty soon we'll all be flying
GA again.... YYYYYUUUUUUCH ! ( don't suck on that line or you'll be
saying the same thing)

I have both a KX-99 and a A-22. The KX-99 has better noise rejection
than the A-22 and is very clear. It's disadvantage is its charge
circuit, it is a tickle charge only and depending upon the amount of
radio traffic, the audio can place more draw on power than the tickle
charge provides thus the unit can slowly run down. We used to use
this in our GA plane but because of this power issue I bought a A-22
to use in the UL. The KX-99 is also larger. The A-22 is small and
has a better Aux power system but does not have the noise rejection
the KX-99 has. The A-22 works fine for the most part and does the
job. I like having the normal battery pack charged and ready in case
I need it due to an incident. The AA battery option is cheaper but
will the AA battery pack be good when you need it most.

jerb/Gang:
Bought a KX99 in 1989. First flight to Fayetteville, AR, from Titus,
AL, the radio started to go belly up on me. Battery was getting low
despite the fact I had it hard wired to the aircraft electrical
system. I turned off the radio to save what power was left in case I
had to land at a controlled field. An hour or so later I turned it
back on to make a landing. Was surprised to find that the battery had
been somewhat recharged. A little further research turned up the fact
that the KX99 was wired to charge bats from an outside source only in
the off position. Could not get anyone to modify it for me, including
King, because it was an STC'd radio.
I now use the one of the cheapest radios ICOM offers, the A3. Works
great. Got me to Barrow, Alaska, and a lot of other places all over
Canada and the US without any problems. It is my only avionics.
