Hope someone can answer this. Regarding Quick Build Kits...can capacitance fuel senders be installed by in Quick Build wings at the time of constuction?

Thanks, reggie

No easily

Reggie,
It can be done, but it won't be easy. Normally, the capacitance senders and related wiring are installed prior to permanently installing the rear baffle. On a quick build, the fuel tanks are completed. This means that you would have to cut two holes in the rear baffle of each tank, install the senders, then fabricate doublers and access plates over the holes you cut, to seal them up.

senders

You can get capacitance senders from Grand Rapids that will install in a quick build wing just fine.

I don't know what you are going to use for an engine monitor; but, when I switched from a GRT EIS-4000 to the Garmin G3X my GRT sending unit (Princeton) worked fine with the G3X.
