Rotax has clearly decided EFI is the way to go. But have you seen the complexity of their implementation on the 912iS? Running an EFI like Megasquirt or SDS in an aircraft can and has been done, but it introduces a lot of new failure modes that you need to understand and make a conscious choice w

"Now, this is mostly a car-hobbyist system" If you are interested in this then look up SDS (Simple Digital Systems). One of the first things you will see is aircraft applications even Reno. Two to eight cylinders, normally aspirated or boosted, fuel injection or carbs, liquid or air cooled, kno

Look at Simple Digital Systems they make a setup that is great on auto conversions and even certified engines in the experimental world. Richard Kaczmarek Fast Little Airplanes LLC 937-243-7303 On Jan 28, 2015 3:14 PM, "Chris Prata via KRnet" wrote: > I've been a car hobbyist for years, install

I've been a car hobbyist for years, installing and modifying my own fuel injected turbocharger system and such. One of my friends in the hobby who has done interesting things with engines and so on, got involved with Mega-Squirt years ago when it first was created. Basically it's a universal sim

I'd consider a megasquirt on my Lotus 7-like car project, in fact I'm leaning toward that setup, but I understand carbs and will be using a carb on my airplane. Also a magneto and no engine -driven electrical charging system. Chris On 1/28/2015 1:13 PM, Chris Prata via KRnet wrote: > I've been
