Ernest, I have always wondered about the EWP. While I'm not a
Lamar reactionary, I would like to know if anybody is NOW FLYING with an EWP as
their primary water pump. This is not intended to start an arguement, it's just
a question. Bill Jepson
And the answer is yes,
Todd is flying with only the Davies Craig EWP. At one point he only had
one of these, and now he has a second, but purely for redundancy. He never
had any problems using only the single pump.
I have the same pump in
series with my mechanical pump. I've run this on the ground without the
belt, and haven't had any problems that I can tell, but I won't intentionally
take off without my alternator, so I haven't flown it with only the
EWP. Now when you guys get this backup alternator into
production...
I almost nuked the
mechanical pump during this current rework, but decided that I had too many
other things to do already, and didn't want to drag this out any longer than
needed. The single rotor project will have no mechanical
pump. I've already got the nice Meziere adapter in hand, and a boat
from Oz will be bringing me another EWP and controller soon.
Cheers,
Rusty
