The pilot (not me) was not injured. Damage mostly around the area of the
collapsed nose gear - repairable. Lil' Bruiser will be out of action for
a while.

The text of your msg does not show, unless I ask Gmail to "show original"
(pasted below).
Capacitive probes have been discussed in the past, check the archives.
I remember the one thing against them is that if you use a fuel different
from the one with which you calibrate it, the reading will be inaccurate.

______________________________________________________
Have any of you used the Skysport Capacitive Fuel System, which is now
owned by Aircraft Spruce?
The float system provided with my 601XL with extended range tanks is
designed to mounted on top
of the tank (not the one shown in the building guides). Regardless,
it seems that a float system for a
long tilted tank mounted near the wing root will not register any
change from full until a significant amount of fuel has been used.
The Skysport system can have a long capacitive measuring tube that
extends from the low end near
the root to the high end towards the tip. Seems like it would be much
more accurate.
Anyone try it?
Thanks.

Jay, glad to hear that the pilot is ok? What caused the forced landing?
Canopy? Engine trouble?

Larry,
Yes, the pilot is fine. The engine quit. He was not within gliding dista
nce of the airport, landed in a pasture OK, but hit a berm and collapsed
the nose gear. From his description, it must have been a fuel related pr
oblem - maybe a clogged screen in the fuel path or carb icing. I have bee
n under the weather, so haven't been able to get to the hanger to investig
ate.

I used the skysport on my 601, and found it very accurate. Carlos may
have a point about the different fuels, I don't know. I mounted it from
the high end, with the probe running the full length of the tank to the
bottom.
Using it with the Dynon, and I trust it totally.........Fred Sanford
