    Bill, we switched cubes and got flow readings from both cubes that was when we were working with the factory. Also the factory checked 3 cubes and returned 2 and kept 1 . I am trying to find what the flow was I have it wrote down somewhere. I will send you pictures. Do you want the FFDM1 along with FP-5L

    Bill I will take new pictures of every thing and retest the cubes the way you described and will get back to you.
    If you send me your cell phone number to my gmail account I will text them to you today. Or let me know how you want me to send them.

    It is best if you just post them here for all to see.

    Otherwise, My phone is "Voice Only".
    You can "Text" them to my Email Address. (It actually works that way!!!)

    jiott --

    Which fuel flow gauge do you use with your Red Cube sensor?


    Jiott is using only one sensor and displays total flow only, ignoring the return flow.

    Robert, Your problem is NOT the Gauge, it is the installation.

    We are still waiting for the results with each sender unplugged.
    Are you able to unplug and swap the senders before the Circular Connector, or are the senders hard pinned to the connector?
    That would be an excellent troubleshooting feature.!!!


    Bill -- I understand completely. I was simply curious as to what gauge Jiott was using with the Red Cube sender. I've not misunderstood, but just wondered about the gauge and fully understand it's not related to the installation.

    Bill, yes I am only using one sensor but am Not ignoring the return flow. I have calibrated the sensor K factor to give me an accurate reading at my cruise conditions, which is 99% of the engine run time. My fuel flow gauge readout is on the Dynon Skyview engine parameters screen.
