I have and older friend with an Team F-1 Rocket who has never been able to get his Garmin G3X to display fuel level. The kit's leading-edge fuel tanks had wires coming out of them and those are what he hooked his gauges into. He subsequently tried to contact the kit company (Mark?) and wasn't able to get anybody. He's not as web savvy as most of us so I figured I would try to help. He's got close to 200 hours on the bird and has been using time and fuel totalizer vales for fuel management.
He also put in a manual tach and volt meter as the G3X doesn't seem to be showing those values. I think a visit by a savvy G3X guy would be in order.
What type of fuel senders (if any) did Team Rocket ship inside the Sport Wing fuel tanks? I would like to try and help him.
While we're on channel he also sees about 200 mph with an approx 290hp IO-540 (Barrett parallel valve with flow enhancements, higher compression and stud reinforcement) turning an MT 3-blade at 2500rpm and full MP. Is that a typical number for an F-1 Sport Wing?
Thanks,
Jim
