KR> re: Fuel pump backup

Sounds like automating your back up fuel pump would be a good idea. Their are a few different methods I can think of to do this. Monitoring your fuel pressure with a pressure switch which can then activate an annunciator light as well as the back up pump or measuing the current to the main pump,

Good artice on Steves plane. We all need to write and remind sport aviation that this aircraft is what homebuilt aircrafts are all about - not snap together RV type kits. $12.2k sounds pretty good but I'll, have that beat by a few K. It helps to have picked up a completely rebuilt corvair

good update Mark, for the rest of you: I think Mark L figured out the marketing secret for these kitplane manufacturers when they publish their build times. Just like Mark L has on his web site = "hands on time only" divided by 3. (Said he built everthing 3 times) 4800/ 3 = 1600 !

Thats not correct. taxi time is included in your PIC hours. Simulator time can also be logged. Simulators dont have "N" numbers therefore I would think your "experimental simulator" should also be valid. You cant get a better simulator than what you have. Check with your CFI and look in the
