From: "Chuck Jensen" I second Neal's impression. Precision may be good but AFP is excellent--technically and support wise. Chuck Jensen -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Neal George Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 9:06 PM Subject: RE: RV-List: Fuel Injection? Opinions! 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. Neal George RV-7 N8ZG (Cowling) 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.... -- David W.

Opinions! 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. -- Dwight On Wed Jul 11 19:53:56 2007, David Schaefer wrote : >Hopefully this won't get too carried away ... but.. what is you preference >for fuel injection?

Opinions! From: "N395V" Hands down AFP by far the best. -------- Milt 2003 F1 Rocket 2006 Radial Rocket Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=123389#123389 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 12:46:18 PM PST US From: "Andy Gold" Subject: RV-List: 27 Years of the RVator is Here! 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.

Opinions! 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. JAMES BOWEN wrote: > > Precision is based on the bendix system. Pretty much any mechanic > should be familiar with it.
