Check the airshow times,
arriving at 1300 local may be cause for a long delay getting in.
arrive via notam, be prepared for tower to be non-responsive, ie
acknowledging your reporting, but not giving much sequencing response. As it
gets busy they get more active in providing direction.

sensor outputs a frequency or a voltage.

You might consider calling Advanced Control Systems
(http://www.advanced-control-systems.com). I doubt they'd distribute just
the adapters if you're not buying the ACS2002 system.
The adapters they use come from Princeton Electronics. You can contact Todd
at Princeton at 616-281-5193.

I am not at all familiar with injected motors. Is there a fuel return line
from the motor on an IO 360, and do I need to order one of those fancy fuel
valves that Vans sells, ($350), in order to return surplus fuel to the tank,
and do I need to plumb up two new fuel lines for that purpose.

Nope. Plumbing is similar to the O engines, but the Fuel pressure is much
higher, necessitating a higher pressure boost pump and engine driven pump.

Troubleshooting was extremely frustrating,

And to add to the other 2 responses which are correct, the return you
are referring to is a special return line used in the Airflow
Performance FI system specifically. It is not required, even on theirs.

You will need a fuel return line to your fuel tank. Mine runs to the left
tank. This means that I MUST use fuel from the left tank first. If I fail to
select the left tank, when both are full, I will soon overflow the left tank
and fuel will be discharged through the left vent line.
I'm not familiar with the expensive valve from Vans but it probably just
shifts the return line to flow into the same tank you are drawing from.

So to add to all of the different responses...
On my RV-8 drawings for the fuel injected plumbing
routing, Van's shows a return line running from the
Airflow Performance boost bump back to a tee that is
mounted on the fuel valve outlet port. This way, the
return doesn't have to be run all the way back to the
tank and you don't need the expensive valve.

Hi Bob,
What fuel injection system are you using??
Neither the Bendix RSA nor the Airflow Performance system mandates the use
of a fuel return line. The only case I'm aware of needing a return line is
if using a "purge valve", which in itself is also not a necessity on either
system. There are a lot of both Bendix & AFP systems flying without a
return type line, nor a purge valve. That being said, if one plans to use a
purge valve, then of course some sort of return line would be necessary.
Cheers,
Stein Bruch

Although it hasn't been mentioned yet, I learned that to avoid creating
scratches that you never, ever, ever wipe or clean plexiglass in a circular
motion. Always wipe up and down. I see guys going to town with whatever
cleaner as if they were "waxing" the canopy. This is the fastest way to
scratch it up.
Maybe an old wives tale but that's what the pros say!

If you are just looking at homebuilts you can use the Aerocrafter CD. For
factory planes I don't know.

Listers,
I have been trying to find an aircraft search based on performance
unsuccessfully. Does anybody know of a site where one could find say all
comparable aircraft?
200 MPH cruise + or -
4 place
single engine
etc.
Just wondering from what pool of aircraft have comparable performance
figures.
Thanks for any help.
