Hi Raimo,
This is a nice looking bit of kit. Curiosity took me to the FDS website
for more info and having downloaded the manual, I notice that they
specify a second FT-60 "red cube" flow transducer should be used in the
fuel return line when used with a Rotax 912x installation. How did you
get away with using only one and still maintain accuracy?
