I am extremely happy with my FC-10 (
http://www.fdatasystems.com/Products/FC-10/FC-10.html ).
As Raimo, I would be uncomfortable without a FF now I got used to having one.
For all FF's a calibration needs to be performed, which basically means flying
of fuel and recording times and Gallons/Liters, then doing the math. Not a big
deal. As a bit of additional safeguard, I put the actual fuel tank content minus
6 liters in as the maximum for the "virtual tank", and set warning about 3
liters 'above' the real point where main tank runs empty and switching to
reserve
is required to keep the engine running.
After putting in the K-factor that came with the sender, I burnt about 75 liters
of fuel, then I calculated that I had to make a small adjustment. This
adjustment
gave me an accuracy of about 3% over the next 250 liters burnt (or should
I say inaccuracy [Wink]). I then stopped recording all of the time because there
was hardly any variance in the numbers. Now I check accuracy every once in
a while, usually once a year over the course of a couple of flights.
