Hi Paul

I've just come across a reference on another list that states that Klaus
told the author that his EFI is a programmable software based system and
sighted concerns about re-booting or hanging up in flight as why he does not
want to sell it commercially as he could not offer it in a "hard silicone
version".

555 PWM constant flow or
555 regular injectors and return, has promise of simple and cheap if doable.

The way I heard it from Klaus (across the taxi way) is he did not like
computers for the reason he stated above and he is using a 555 system
instead. Try asking Paul Lipps as he designed the system for Klause. Re
booting is no big deal but when was the last time your computer crashed? Not

counting crashes caused by Windows of course:)

I posted an abbreviated version because awhile back you had said Klaus had
555, and this was opposed to your belief.

Point taken about, non-Windows crashing/rebooting.


My vote is a 555 system.

Programming a programmable system to the engine is what I think is the
problem with programmable systems.

555 would be like the old Bosch constant flow. The one with the cone shaped
airflow device would work on just about any engine if the unit was the right
size, no programming. A bit too heavy for aircraft really.
