Hello guys I’m just big Sling fan and an A&P mechanic hoping to get in a Sling some day. Love watching the very informative videos you guys put out. Great to see the collaboration on a very important issue that needs to be resolved.

[azcoyote]

You guys clearly have some clever people working there. Great videos and cool ideas!

Ok. - this is VERY cool! Looks like it's very well developed and thought trough. I'll definitely be stopping by to find out more next week...

[OneAlphaMike]

Excellent! This is exactly what I envisioned would be needed to prevent issues with high RVP mogas. @EvanBrunye and I discussed this exact design many months ago. Glad to see his idea being developed for the market!

Are you using Facet pumps for the tank pumps?

This is super Adam. I've been noticing, in this heat, my fuel PSI sitting at the bottom of 42 and often going below into the yellow range. Very unnerving.

Plus I'd love to be able to move to Mogas with no fear.

You expect it to be retrofittable?

Adam, can I buy the sensor assembly? I don't have a sling or need help with the interface part, but being able to have a remote indication of my fuel system would be handy for my application.

I’ve heard of this being an issue, but it’s hard for me to understand what the problem is as I have thoroughly tested my Rotax 915 using mogas and avgas in the winter, and summer. Even at 25, 000 feet with the aux fuel pump off I was getting 53 psi. My Rans is a highwing and maybe that puts less stress on the system. That’s about the only thing I can make of it.

Any space claim issues for those of us who are using pumps to transfer fuel from the long-range tanks into the main tanks? They are mounted in the wing root area.

Can you dim the lights for night flying?

Would this be a potential problem in any LSA with a Rotax using MOGAS with ethanol? I have a Bristell and have avoided 100 LL completely and bring fuel in with (unfortunately) ethanol.
