"If not, do you know of anyone that is flying at these high altitudes with
the 914 and what configuration they are using?"
Dave Anderson is flying his XS 914 with glider at 17,000'. He used to have a
web page with his build log, but I haven't looked for it lately so I will
have to. Formerly it could be accessed from the Europa site somehow.

Vaughan,
We have an XS mono wheel, with the 914 installed. The fuel pumps are in parallel
which is what Rotax was preaching at the time of our installation.
We do a lot of long cross countries, and we fly in the high teens (15000-17500) when
winds aloft are favorable. We have not experienced any fuel problems, at these
altitudes, and a lot of this time was using auto fuel....I would say we have at least
20 hours logged at these altitudes.
Rotax has made a lot of changes since 2000, when we first flew our a/c. Several times
different oils have been recommended, the coolant change, and now the fuel pump
change, to name a few. I thank as they see the operating experience of the 914 in
private hands, and the military, we will continue to see running changes as they see
fit.
Just my thoughts.

Actually Dave sent me a picture of South Lake Tahoe, taken from his MG
while at more than 20,000 feet. Dave isn't following this site any
longer, but I can fwd questions on to him if you like.
