Thanks, that helps.
Regarding the 90 degree fitting; the 90degree fitting shown on your old hose
is the "full flow" type according to Don@Airflow, and that's okay. The
fitting you want to avoid is the 90 degree fitting where there is no curve.
That type of fitting will impede the free flow of fuel. (I'm just repeating
what Don told our class a few weeks ago).

I went through the same thing after talking to Don @ Airflow, I have the
Floscan and "mounted " it @ the front corner of the engine case
http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%20FF4%20Fuel%20System/slides/DSC04976.html. I
used a mounting bracket fabbed out of alu similar to:

ordered 2 new hoses to replace this:

The hose the connects the servo and the flow scan has a right angle fitting
where it connects to the floscan. There is a caution some where about
avoiding that, but the configuration works flawlessly with no fluctuations.

Thanks!
It looks like the transducer is 'unmounted' in this case and just supported
by the fuel hoses. I'm thinking of doing the same. Anyone with experience
using a fuel hose supported Flowscan?

Bill,
Mark Cooper's blog has some pics and a description of his mounting in the
similar location.

Subject: RV10-List: Need help with FloScan re-location from tunnel to engine
compartment
Can anyone point me to any installation pictures of FloScan installations
where the unit is mounted between the fuel controller and the spider? Any
links or pics appreciated.
Background:
I've decided to change the location of my fuel flow unit from the tunnel to
between the fuel controller and the spider. I've seen a few pictures of
other installations but I know I've seen some I can't find at the moment.
I've gotten quite comfortable with the tunnel installation. There's no
doubt that it's a bit inaccurate with the boost pump on but that's not
really a problem.
However, the folks at Airflow pointed out 2 other issues that I'm in fact
experiencing:
1) Fuel flow readings fluctuate a bit, as recorded by my GRT system.
It's only plus/minus .2GPH but it limits the accuracy of my nozzle tuning
efforts. I'm tuned up pretty good right now but I'd like to improve it a
bit more.
2) During full power climbs my fuel pressure drops a bit below where it
should and that causes me to turn on my boost pump for short periods of time
midway up during my climb outs. I can't recite the exact reasons for that
as described by Don Rivera at Airflow, but it's related to the restriction
of flow sensor and it's location between the tank and the engine driven fuel
pump. As I understand it, it's best to have as few restrictions as possible
upstream of the fuel pump. And having inadequate fuel pressure during full
power operations is undesirable.

| Subject: | Bonaco brake lines |
Hey all, a question for those who have used the Bonaco lines.
I'm about to install the brake lines that run from the calipers, up the
gear legs to the bottom of the fuse. Looking at the AN822-4D caliper
fitting, it appears it will face forward, and the line will run up the leg
on the forward side? Any other options?
Second question, what did you use to secure the brake line to the gear
leg? The lines do have the anti-chafe covering. I was thinking self
fusing tape?
Thx, Rick

I used friction tape. I think it was called out in the plans. I first used
plans built hard lines but changed to the Bonaco lines after I developed a
leak in one of the hard lines.

Same for me, one of my per-plans lines failed at about 1000 hours.
I used fusion tape around the legs for anti-chafe, then zip ties to attach
the flex lines.

I am looking for ideas on an accessible mounting location for a single

I've mounted a bunch of boxes on hinges, similar to the top and bottom cowl
mating. That makes easy work of getting things in and out of what would
otherwise be pretty awful locations. You just gotta make sure you have a
workable service loop in the wiring/plumbing/etc., and access to the hinge
pins.

Bulls eye Dave! That was exactly the kind of idea this feeble brain was

Many thanks.
