With my top mounted Ellison I've turned off the fuel pump in flight just to see if the engine would continue to run. Turns out it continues to run. I've been presuming the fuel continues to flow through a "siphon" effect, not considering the suction power of the Ellison. 335KC came with a primary and back-up fuel pump . . . the cylindrical kind. I've never needed to use the back-up so these pumps seem to run forever. It's good to know that if they don't, the engine will continue to run normally. ********************** It would be a great idea for someone to document the story of the Dr. Dean plane. It sounds like there's an interesting saga there. I've heard the name "Dr. Dean" often enough over the years to know he is/was somebody of consequence in the KR world, but that's all I know and I suspect the Dr. Dean plane is of great interest to all netters..
