 |

I saw an interesting thing yesterday at Sun-N-Fun. It was a mechanical fuel injection on a Highlander. They have been testing it for a while and so far it is working out fine. There are no electrical inputs! It is entirely mechanical and apparently the design is very similar to the one Lycoming uses as the same guy developed theirs according to what the guy told me.
The claim in the data sheet is 10-30 % increase in hp, better fuel metering,etc. I can't locate the flyer right now which talks about all the benefits of this system as I have a whole bag full of stuff. If anyone is interested I will send the info on the web site when I find the flyer.
It is a real nice, well made set up and the price was $3800.00 I am sorely tempted!

I also looked at the "Billet Pump" which is a super deluxe replacement for the 912/914 fuel pump. Now this is really well built. When my pump heads south, I will definitely buy this unit! No "Mickey mouse" here it is really a nice unit. The 912 unit retails for $368, the 914$396. This is from Corbi Air Inc. ph: 877-267-2424.
These were two of the more interesting things I saw at Lakeland. I did see a Titan T-51 go into a tomato field. It was a shame. He made a low pass and it sounded real nice. He circled to do another pass and instead descended into a tomato field. He had it on the road next to the field put hit sand and went belly down in the field. No one was hurt but sure whacked a beautiful 3/4 scale metal mustang. Apparently, according to the write up in the paper, he switched fuel tanks. Moral: don't do it at low altitude!
That's all for now
