Finally sorted out fuel sensor
Spent the weekend in Spokane. It was good to have a break from my maniacle building pace lately. Ironically, I was still building over the weekend. I was helping my friend Jeff with his 7A, putting on the engine mount and drilling the gear mounts.
I had a little time this afternoon for the plane. My order from Spruce arrived Friday with two 45 degree fittings for the fuel flow sensor. Ideally, the sensor would be in the middle of a straight run, but I cannot make it work. I don’t think the 45’s will affect the reading at all, but we’ll see. The fit is really good, and the fuel line is a good distance from the exhaust pipes. I made a little bracket to hold the sensor secure to the engine mount. I also adle clamped the fuel line to one of the intake pipes. I hate adle clamps. Hopefully there’s not too many more in my future.
