The 550 mile flight this morning from KB=
VY-KRKD-KEPM-KBVY was crystal clear VFR=20
with 195kts TAS, 5500ft, 24"MP, 2400RPM, 8.2GPH, 25=C2=BALOP
and 22.5MPG...not too shabby for this little pip-sqweak of a plane.=20

The good news is that my continuing issue with erratic MVP-50 fuel flow rea=
dings
has now been identified but the solution will be a real pain to fix. Turnin=
g off=20
the ALT instantly caused FF readings to become rock solid! Go figure.
I'll have to remove the cowl in order to refresh my aging memory on how the=
 ALT=20
output lead is plumbed but at some point it must be too close to the FF cab=
le.=20
After the fact it sounds like common sense but don't run any sensor wires a=
ft=20
from the engine compartment in the same wire bundle which includes the ALT =
lead.=20
Short of relocating wires, do we have an electrical wizard here with a more=

elegant solution? I suppose that any time I want to see accurate fuel data,=
 I=20
could simply shut off the ALT for a few seconds. :-)
