At least that is what CPS's add says.

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. http://www.rotaxparts.net/scripts/prodView.asp?idProduct=1287 Hose Cover (P117) It is sold at $.98 per foot. CPS seems to be cheaper than Aircraft Spruce. P117 Firesleeve Hose Cover. Firesleeve Hose cover offers the maximum in fire protection.

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?

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. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

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 -------- "NO FEAR" - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!
