Hello,
soon I'll start with the fuel system and I know that I need to purchase the fuel pump and filter. i would like some advice regarding fuel flow sensors. Can anyone recommand a proven system which would also work with e.g. AF-3500 or other engine monitoring systems.
Many thanks
Michael

Michael, you'll find a lot of the EFIS and engine monitoring setups like
Dynon or GRT supply you the FloScan transducer as part of the package.

As John said, you really should decide what EMS you are going with before
deciding on the fuel flow sensor. I don't know how different they are or
how compatible, but I would recommend going with the one recommended by your
EMS manufacturer.

Jesse has a good point....
I have a VM1000 which uses a FloScan 200 (IIRC). The backlighting has been a little fritzy lately and with the change in ownership of Vision Microsystems to JPI - I'm not expecting an easy repair cycle...and I haven't even flown yet. Sorry - off topic...
Meanwhile, the AF3400EM that I have been looking at can use the same fuel flow sender according to Rob at advanced Flight Systems.
I'll know for sure shortly....

Michael;
I am at the same point as you are and am starting to locate the parts
for the fuel system. I emailed AFS this am to see if we can get a
recommendation. I'll post their answer when obtained. If we don't hear
back later today, I'll call tomorrow.

It's been a good week. Side panels fit to the fuselage and those bends
are done. Brand spanking new Barrett 270 HP Lycoming sitting on the
shop floor. Purchased the one that Roy posted on the site about two
weeks ago. Sweeeeeet.

I believe E.I. makes the red cube flow sensor that comes with the 3400/3500. It has the same electrical specs as the floscan but different mounting holes. If you have a floscan it should work with the AFS system but check with Rob first. AFS sold me the sensor only way in advance so I could get it installed. The only down fall is I had to modify the monting plate from the stock mount Van's provides. I really like thier system and the service and documentation has been really nice. I should be able to report the flying part early this fall....

Hot rodder!!! Did you do a stress analysis to make sure that the RV-10
airframe can handle those extra 10 ponies? I would derate it if I were you.
All in fun. Do not archive
