    Continental 4A084 SDS EFI Installation

    One of my customers installed our EFI on his 084 engine. Just got it running a couple days ago. We've had a few others do this conversion in the past with just the EFI. This is the first one with EFI and spark control. Pretty neat.

    SDS EFI on a 180hp Kitfox

    I was over a a clients shop today to help with an SDS EFI install on a 360 Lycoming in his Kitfox. He went with the dual ECU option running both fuel and ignition, eliminating the carb and both mags. It started right up after a few blades from cold and idled nicely at 400-500 rpm. He...

    Unleaded Avgas Availability in Europe, Australia?

    We're getting more requests about information on closed loop EFI control from Europe. We've not included aviation specific closed loop control at this point due to to the still widespread use of leaded avgas in most parts of the world which is unfriendly to oxygen sensors. I understand that...

    Continental O-200 EFI

    We finally acquired a serviceable Continental O-200 today to start development of a full EFI/EI kit for these engines to replace the carb and mags. We have a lot of people contacting us about this possibility as it's still a popular engine to use in lighter Homebuilts. In the past, we could only...

    I've had a number of people email and PM me about whether I'd be at Osh. The answer is no unfortunately.
