Roger: I think the price is $0.98 per inch, not per foot. At least that is
what CPS's add says.

Hi Mike,
I like the CT a lot. It has a very large cabin for width and for long legs.
It carries luggage well. I's glide is 14:1 and I cruise at 115-130 mph at
4700-5000 rpm. It's a sleek little plane in the air and handles like a
little Ferrari. Really a nice little cross country machine. If you get the
chance to fly in a CT I think you will like it. Cheap to fly, just like the
Kolb except for the initial cost. I travel all over now and never worry
about fuel (holds 34 gal), luggage room or comfort. I even have in flight
movies.
Here is the website on CPS. The fire sleve should protect you hose for up to
20 min. in case of fire.
The fire sleve works very well if you cut it and wrap hose areas that will
rub. Fire sleve is quite tough.
Even though you do not have an enclose cowling, think about a fuel ignition
and getting sprayed by the wind as liquid fire to your tail section.

I have a couple of questions about installing instruments with a Rotax
912. I accidentally put 12 volts to my VDO CHT gauge and I think I fried
it. The needle at rest is now at the max reading. I didn?t notice at
first that the CHT gauge requires no power (except for the light) and the
+ terminal is for the sender. Does anyone know if applying 12 volts to
this gauge will fry it? I called VDO tech support about 25 times and
never got through. Also, I am not sure to hook up the VDO tach. The back
of the tack has a ground, power tab and one sender tab. I hooked up the
yellow and white wire from the 912 to the sender tab and the blue and
white wire from the 912 to airframe ground, and have power wire and a
ground wire going to the back of the tach. I then set the DIP switch to
1=on, 2=off, 3=off. Is this correct?

Hi Hugh,
Your right about .98 per inch. I wasn't watching what I was typing. I should have
read what I typed more carefully.
That makes Aircraft Spruce much cheaper. Use the silicone fire sleeve not the black
one. I don't have a book in front of me, but I think the black fire sleeve
max temp rating is like 365F. The silicone fire sleeve is rated at 2000F. On
the page in Aircraft Spruce it's the second hose listed.

Thanks Roger,
I had looked at this firesleeve before and liked it, there were just so many I
did not know which one to get. I will definatly buy and install it. I think
any kind of small fire would burn through the clear hose I have now very quickly
and turn into a big fire, tha thas always worried me. Thanks for posting this
information.
Mike
