As you say, a choice of the PIC.
However, if I felt my aircraft, couldn't RELIABLY deliver the fuel required for level flight, I'd be ripping into the fuel system wanting to know why....

Things, I'd look at would be :
blocked filters,
Restricted fuel lines (dents, or kinks)
the number of 90 degree bends,
the "ID" of the fuel lines.
I would remove / replace / re-do / change, anything suspect!
I would ground the aircraft, until I was sure the fuel delivery was reliable, all by itself.
Imagine the cost of having an electrical loss....
On takeoff, at say 75 - 100 feet, at a high angle of attack........ and no power...
Call me a cheap worry wart... But I have put too much money, time, and energy,
into my life, and into the build,
To even risk that scenario....
PLUS.... I don't want to be fodder for the
Anti GA group.p

I don't have a problem with it right now .. but my gf is shorter and it was a challenge for her in the other Sonex I had. Also .. since I'm 64 and not getting younger .. at some point I might not be so agile.
I'm thinking something similar to the one Vans sells for the RV-6A .. but I'm not sure how long it is.
Just need it on the pilot side.
