Many thanks to all those who have replied to this theme. If starting from
scratch I would pick an engine management system (like the Dynon D180) that
would compute fuel flow along with the rest, but having already got the
Rotax Flydat system which doesn't do fuel flow I am looking for a stand
alone system.
T o summarise for the benefit of anyone who may be thinking of doing
something similar there seem to be three good systems that use Floscan
transducers (as opposed to their own make):
1) Fuel Scan 450. 2) Matronics FuelChec DX. 3) Stratomaster MGL Avionics
FF2
The first two are more sophisticated and more expensive than the third, both
costing $1100 or so for the instrument + 2 Floscan 201s, and rather more if
bought in UK. The FF2 instrument costs just 100 in the UK (sensors extra)
but looks very basic. There doesn't seem to be too much to choose between
the first two but the FuelScan 450 is my choice, being slightly cheaper and
perhaps more attractive and with a more user friendly display.
All I need now is a source of inexpensive Floscan Transducers!
