I second Neal's impression. Precision may be good but AFP is
excellent--technically and support wise.

Airflow Performance.
Because the Airflow servo uses a rotary fuel metering valve vs. sliding
plate.
And more importantly, I can (and have) call the guy who designed it and
talk to him if I have questions.

Hopefully this won't get too carried away ... but.. what is you
preference for fuel injection? Airflow or Precision? And more
importantly specifically WHY?
I look forward to your comments.
Thanks....

Without question, Airflow Perfomance. Why? For one I've seen the quality
and care they take with their designs and assembly up close and personal.
For another, the -fact- that you can get so up close and personal! In all
seriousness, Don Rivera is available to anyone who has a problem or a
question. Just give him a call. API has the kind of customer service that
makes me feel confident about using a product.
If you want to know more about API products, and have the opportunity to
end up with the same sort of 'up close and personal' feeling about the
company, attend one of their "Fuel Injection 101" classes. If it is in any
way reasonable for you to get to Spartanburg, SC for a class, I very much
recommend doing so. Particularly if you were like me .. and knew very little
about fuel injection ... for a very reasonable amount of money you'll come
away MUCH better informed.
Not only that, Don fires up the grill out behind the hangar after classes
and you get to spend another few HOURS sitting around, eating, and talking
about flying. What more could ya want?? :)
No, I don't work for Don. I'm just a very satisfied (so far, still building!)
customer and former FI-101 student.

27 Years of the RVator is complete and now in stock; this time in your
choice of a paper book, CD, or e-Book.
27 Years of the RV-ator contains complete reprints of every technical
article, builder assist article, flying techniques article, products
evaluation article, and safety and maintenance related article ever
printed by Van and the staff of Vans Aircraft from the years 1980
through 2006.
Each is accurately reproduced (with photos & drawings) and organized in
sequence as you build, test, and fly your RV. It is everything written
on the tail sections, then the wings, fuselage, finishing, engine
installation, panel, props, etc. There is a chapter on all those neat
tools, safety & maintenance concerns, engine and prop selection,
performance & CG issues, and on basic & sport flying techniques.
It is in-depth articles written by Van, and Van's technical staff
explaining how and why the aircraft goes together and works as it does.
Use it as an approved adendum to the Construction Manual, or if you have
yet to begin to build use it as the best method to "get your head into
the game" and learn what it is really all about to build and fly the
finest kit airplane ever offerred.
Book, CD, and e-Book - Its your choice!
This new edition is almost 500 pages long. That's a lot of information.
And although we tried hard to place every article in the most logical
place, sometimes that choice might not be the most obvious for all. For
example, where would we put an article about exhaust system cracking?
In the engine/exhaust system chapter where Van describes the correct way
to mount it; in the Operations or Safety chapters advising it as a
pre-flight or maintenance item; or in an Options chapter where different
types of exhaust systems could be evaluated? On CD or e-Book, just type
"exhaust" in the search engine, and every article on the subject will be
right in front of your eyes. This is a tremendous convenience which
becomes better and better as the book becomes bigger and bigger.
e-Books offer the same search capability with the added benefit of
getting it immediately and zero shipping costs.
Whichever format, the cost is $29.95 (no price change from the last
edition) Order yours today on line at http://buildersbooks.com or by
phone at 800 780-4115
As of today, we have an unlimited supply of CDs and of course e-Books.
Only a couple cases of paper books have yet arrived from the printer.
Once they run out, there will be about a 2 week delay until the full
supply arrives.
Thanks,

Precision is based on the bendix system. Pretty much any mechanic should be
familiar with it. Parts are easy to get...

Precision=Bendix RSA injection, used on most Lycoming injected engines
for the last 40 years. Most any mechanic that has any engine experience
will be familiar with it. Overhaul it at engine TBO, won't need much
else normally.
