I too have a 6 cyl Jab which has this fuel flow problem, seems to be high especially after take off, mostly settles down in the cruise although sometimes stays high throughout the flight The readings are STABLE, ie if you alter rpm it drops and raises quickly and settles on a number, so seems to...

Servos torque required for non listed models - Jabiru? any ideas Kit on the drawing table? Any way to avoid the now crashed USD to Aussie $ exchange rate!!!!!! Cheers JR

In a Jabiru, 6 cyl, with pickups from the high voltage wires, O get high and alarm in RPM when I DECREASE rpm quickly. I also havent got to the bottom of fuel flow problem, seems to go crazy when in climb JR

Kris hi, No its horizontal, I had another look and the hose had twisted the unit maybe 20 deg to the left, so wires werent exiting vertically, I reset position and now seems to read OK. Summary is these things are very sensitive to vapour locks and MUST have wires leaving perfectly vertically...

The wires arent shielded so this could be an issue. I read the Floscan site and it just says to ensure wires are upwards to free vapour efects. And it actually is very close to horizontal, near the top (but not quite) of a large radius bend. JR

Just checked install and have ruled out some simple stuff Unit is installed upright, in fuel line with rise after unit, wiring doesnt run with any suspect others, just CHT/EGT wiring. It is close (4") to Mag #2 though. Hose is zip tied to engine support brace, but no where else to supprt it...

Total fuel used isnt correct either. So K factor could be an issue. 12v is coming from D180 I will have a play yet to see if I can improve things. I just want to fix it, Ill worry about whos paying later on. In regards o the mixture settings, Jabirus carbs are automatic, and the flow variation I...

Um, in a Jabiru theres not many other places to put it. The entire fuel line is just a few feet long and after taking into account fuel pump and firewall fitting theres not another straight length. The bit that fools me is that the erroneous readings are very stable, ie it will sit on 35 lph...

Hi, Just installed D180 with fuel flow sensor Problem is it ranges from 50lph in climb out back to 25lph in cruise then sits around 33lph even up to 40 lph for long periods - 60-80 min. This variation is all at the same rpm and similar load. After 4 hour flight actual fuel used is dead on 25...

Hi, Have a J200 Jabiru without fuel tank sensors but does have sight glass. I want to use fuel flow to operate "virtual" guages. Does it work? ie fill up, set tanks to full, they count down based upon fuel flow. Any ideas? JR

Guys, In the middle of rewiring a Jabiru, Im keen to put in required cabling for AP servos. I know its DSAB but is it just 2 wires to run both servos? Should it be shielded? Disconnect wiring is another 2 correct? JR

Re high torque requirements in some aircraft. Whats the capability of the new servos? JR

If (when) the autopilot "flies" how do you expect it to be packaged? HS34 style? Im cutting and rebuilding my panel to fit new D180 and want to leave room for it. Looking for testers? Help appreciated JR

Can the D180 split into 3 screens, ie EFIS, EMS and HSI?? Would be good for very tight panels JR

Hi, I am looking to purchase and want to know what happens to summary screen where for example MAP sensor isnt used. Also do the fuel guages indicate the fuel amount (manually entered from fuel screen) f there isnt tank sensors? JR

Ok, Drawings show tabs top and bottomwhich would be a problem with vertical stack install If they have tabs on the sides too its OK JR

Looking for a bracket to flush mount D10 and D10A in a tight vertical stack. This dual small instrument route is expensive too!! but cannot arrange things another way to suit a D180. Any other suggestions? JR
