Happy Easter everyone Well I am putting my money where my mouth is. I hope Mark L will allow me a little latitude here as I am going to make this a deal for the KR folks. I am a retired AF avionics guy and I just could not let the annunciator idea go. What I have ended up doing (while my plane and house are in transit to MD) is developing a unit for my plane and will probably make it commercially available. Here is the deal for you KR folks. I need a few BETA testers. I am putting together a info letter explaining everything and if you email me off list I will email it to you this week to consider. In the end you will end up with quite a deal so if you think your interested you can email me off net. I hope to get a few people with 90% projects for install pics and eval as well as a few flying planes.
Thanks, Craig www.kr2seafury.com IN TRANSIT ________________________________ From: Mark <markweg...@charter.net> To: 'Craig Williams' <kr2seaf...@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 1:50 PM Subject: RE: KR> annunciators box Please keep everyone posted. I for one would be interested in how it works for you. I have a project in the boat stage with completed spars and tail feathers, so it will be a while before I am ready to start thinking of wiring and control electronics.

And yes I would agree. So what I am hearing is that no one so far uses an "annunciation system". Good discussion. Looks like I may be the first.

That way if you have a failure of the system that light goes dark and it should get your attention. It's better to respond to a false failure (burned out bulb/shorted sensor) than not be aware of a failure.

Also, it might not be a good idea to have a warning indicator for fuel transfer. 1) you will train yourself to listen for it, then it will fail on day and the fuel might not be the first thing you check because of desensitization. 2) after you forget the transfer it once (with no warning system), you wont again for a very long time.
