Title: Aerospace Systems Fuel boost system
I received my Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) from Aerospace Systems and have been working to install it. I have had to make some minor modifications but nothing too drastic. My previously complete fuel lines no longer work so I had to make some new ones but this time around it was a lot easier as the tubes are now longer so they are easier to manipulate. Also one of the feed lines from my long range tank was too long and interfered with the boost pump. To fix it I had to drill out a rib so that I could get the necessary tooling in there to shorter, bend and flare the line. Another change was that I needed a different power wire (more amps) from the VPX. The previous setup was one pump and now there are two and the FPCM module. All together I needed a 7.5 Amp breaker. The two boost pumps in the wing each require a power wire run but luckily I had an extra wire already run and was able to utilize that wire so that was fortunate. Now I am working to secure wiring from the wing root to the pumps themselves. I had to make a bracket but I think I found an acceptable solution. I also finally received the correct diameter metal tube for the brake reservoir and made that line. Its almost comical that I had to wait a couple months for the tube to make a 3 inch line. Lastly, a lot of big things are about to happen: My MT prop and RS flight systems controller should be arriving any day now, I am going to Rotax engine training next week for the servicing and maintenance courses, and my Firewall Forward Kit was just crated and should be shipping soon.
