Subject: [FlyRotary] EWP showdown
Greetings,
Well, I've still been
trying to figure out how I could get two EWP's in the RV-3, and took another
look at the Meziere WP136. It seems pretty comparable to the Davies
Craig unit as far as specs, but there are some advantages/disadvantages to
each. Primarily, the Davies Craig is much lighter, but the WP136
has threaded fittings. I also like the inline orientation of the in/out
fittings on the WP136, which might allow me to fit two of them on my
firewall.
All the pictures and
measurements in the world can't answer the fitment question as
well as having one of these in my hand, so I ordered a WP136 from Summit
today (should arrive Friday). I'll take it to the hanger this weekend,
and see how it fits.
I can also imagine a
number of mad scientist experiments, including temporarily hooking
the WP136 in series with the flow meter (arriving later today) in my
system on the plane. This would give me 3 pumps in series,
along with a flowmeter. I can also play with each pump and the
flowmeter using a bucket of water, and my spare evap core.
Rusty (fun stuff that I
don't have time for)
