Brian:
Just got the Fuel Flow Option for the EIS.
I was surprised that the internal diameter was so small through the sensor.
Obviously must work without restricting fuel flow. Where did you install the
sensor? It would be easiest for me between the Gascolator and the Mechanical
Fuel Pump. Did you attach it to a bracket or just install it between fittings
in the line?

Paul, the small hole in the Flow Scan transducer is just fine. Locating it where
you describe is fine. Mount it somewhere in the middle of that line and also
note that you don't have to mount it to the firewall or anything else. They always
ask for about a 6" leadin and exit but it's all but impossible in the installations
in most airplanes.
You will be amazed at the accuracy after a couple tanks of fuel go thru it.....
Have fun,
Weav

I installed mine with an angle bracket on the
firewall.
I rerouted the line from the fuel tank to the right
side of the engine and came across the firewall to the
left side of the engine. The directions are very
specific about having 3" of straight line before and
after the transducer. This is to eliminate turblance
in the fuel. The only way I could gain a 7" straight
run was across the firewall. You should also consider
installing the gascolator before the transducer to
filter the fuel before it goes into the transducer. I
think I have pictures on my computor at the shop. I'll
look for them tommorrow and send them to you.

Bill,
I made a presentation at Oshkosh in 2000 and also had a follow up article
in Contact. I taught a shop class were I had full dyno facilities and really
rung out one of these engines. I had 150 hours on the first engine and recorded
over 400 tests with various fuel and ignition systems. Found that these engines
are extremely well designed and almost bullet proof for our application.

Ron, I own a Subaru SVX. The engine is a 230 HP 6
cylinder boxer engine. What are your thoughts on this
engine for the Tailwind?

Rick; I received the documents. Will go to town and get them notorized
tomorrow. I started putting the stits on the bottom of the fuselage
wednesday. Progress is slow, with many family matters and much snowfall to
cope with. Having never been around anyone doing covering, except at
Oshkosh, it is another learning experience. Hoping to finish by weeks' end,
but a week in home building is close to 60 days, the first time anyway.
Glad to see your O and O project is moving right along. Thanks for the
info. Farmerjohn

Paul,
Not to jump in here, but it seems to me if you put any type of restriction on
the low pressure side of the fuel pump, it could cause vapor
lock...especially if there were any heat source nearby.

I have a Garmin 92 handheld GPS. It has worked for years all over the country,
but when I fly in the airspace a few miles south of Scottsdale Az. airport,
I lose all information for several miles, then it works again.
Does anyone know why this would happen every time?

George ...... You need to see if the same is
happening to anyone else with their GPS unit over the
same region. If yes, then there is likely a satellite
signal malfunction. If no, then you may have a GPS
receive than is malfunctioning. Rich

Ron Steber;
I have a 2.5 Subaru just sitting around collecting dust. The intake has been modified
ala Eggenfellner. I also have a Tracy Crook dual ignition for it. I'm
trying to decide whether to use it in my Tailwind project.
