Clem,



This is a very interesting subject.  The NTSB has raised questions about this since engine/fuel issues account for a large percentage of E-AB accidents.  I suggest viewing an EAA video (it was a webinar) on this same subject.  We created this in direct response to the NTSB and it's been well received.  See if this helps answer your question.  



Here's the link to the video: http://www.eaavideo.org/video.aspx?v=2195707082001

Rick,

Good advice.  I was interested that in the survey, only about a third of 

builders did any fuel flow testing before first flight.
