FT-60 RED CUBE INSTALLATION
Hello everyone
A friend of mine is installing a GRT EFIS in his RV-6 and with that will have fuel flow displayed.
He's wondering where to mount the FT-60 Red Cube in the engine compatment.
Is there anyone here who has installed one and will have pictures they could send me to give us ideas on how and where to mount it?
Thanks you
Bruno

Do a search. There are tons of threads and pictures on mounting fuel flow transducers.

Bruno---this is another one of those cases where there is no wrong answer, just better ones. There are many installs that work with excellent results. Some better than others. Mickey's install is excellent, as a most of the the ones you'll see on VAF. Best results are where the transducer is located between the pump and servo or carb, or between the servo and flow divider for injected models.

Electronics International is the manufacturer of the 'cube', I would suggest you go to thier website and review their installation manuals.

Red Cube.
The location of the red cube will differ greatly with different FWF setups.
Carbs are different from FI setups for sure.
Also, long time users also have found the red cube should be protected from HEAT, so wraping with fire sleeve or the foil faced materials that the car guys use. Either way, the cooler the better. Hot locations will work for awhile.
The preffered location is per manufactures info and between the engine driven pump and the carb or spider. Although other locations do work.
Also use steel fitting over aluminum fitting in the cube to help with gauling. Please do not use teflon tape for thread sealing, properly use a paste type sealant.

RED CUBE
Gentlemen
Thank you for your imputs, greatly appreciated as usual.
I already have a Red Cube installed in my RV-4 but we were wondering if there was a special or different way to mount it in a RV-6.
I will review the Archives for more info.
Thanks again
Bruno
