Grr. Not only are the 801 manual's poor at best, BUT I'm starting to discover
that the binders I got from Zenith are lacking entire sections which are on
the website.
The good thing is the website exists and I can look there when in doubt.
Now what would inspire somebody to design .063 6061 seat belt mounts
is beyond me, particularly with the grain oriented the wrong way. Nice thing I
got a sheet of 4130 to make replacements from, and can tie to
the longerons with a few AN-3 bolts in addition to solids the rest of the
way.
I think Chris is an okay designer, but he sure applies his minimal
approach to a few more things than I like.
Got that out, back to building.
Jeff.

One problem with capacitive probes is that they are sensitive to the
composition of the fuel. You will get different reading with 100LL vs. car
gas. I suspect that different ethanol blends will give different readings
but I don't know how much. I recall being told by the instrument maker MGL
in South Africa that they don't use capacitive probes because the
composition of auto gas there is inconsistent enough to cause significant
errors.

Can anyone explain the pros and cons of CAPACITIVE FUEL PROBES vs.
RESISTANCE (float type)? Not real happy with the readings we are getting
with the float type now.
Have the Zenith suppled floats and Dynon EFIS. I have re-calibrated the
gages twice and still getting junk readings.
