He has been at it long enough. The big problem with EFI is the wiring
   is different for each airplane and each builder. In a production car
   they
   are all the same. Any bugs due to grounding problems, wiring problems
   and or EMI are sorted out long before it goes into production and
   then they
   are all the same. IMHO it is inappropriate technology for an
   experimental aircraft
   engine. It is also over kill.  I hope to get the simple mechanical
   fuel injection working in the next few weeks. Larry is heavily
   involved with
   the Reno racer so that will be over this weekend. Are you going? I'll be
   up there on Saturday and I will have a pit pass to take some pictures.

Sadly Paul I won't be at Reno,
The pilot I was helping, ran afoul of Reno Racing Politics. He qualified
very well and should have been a contender in Sport Class, Silver. (Last
year) Sunday when he arrived he was told he had committed some
infraction during Saturdays race start. I saw nothing out of the
ordinary. He was told he was on "probation" for low flying during the
Golden West Reno Racers demo flight earlier in the year. Total idiocy.
Scotts plane was the finest looking best example for Sport Class racing.
He was on a shoestring, practically hocking his privates to afford being
there in the first place. His beautiful stock Lancair Legacy had no
chance with the "big guns" of course, but he wanted to fly there so
much. The officials seem to want it to only be a rich mans flying club.
They told Scott that "If he was a good boy and took a year off they
might let him back." What arrogant assholes. They completely alienated
their biggest supporter and a great public presence for the Sport Class
overall. He will never go back. Too bad for them.
