Hello
I'm planing to convert my buddy's RV-4 with a O-320 into a RV-4 with Inverted oil and fuel injection, this autumn.
Inverted oil will be a full Raven system, by the fuel injection I'm unsure to decide. Here are my two favorit from which I should choose soon:
1. Precicion airmotive, Silver Hawk EX
- Well known
- 10-15 years in market
- Installation manual
- Good and bad experience with customer support (from VAF members)
- Two RV-Buddy's fly such a system and are happy so far, but they do no aerobatic
2. AVStar, AVX320-1
- New, computer flow optimized
- No installation manual, but telephone support
- Good and bad experience with customer support (from VAF members)
- New system needed to go back onto the bench for adjusting ...
- One RV-Buddy fly such a system, never saw a engine with all the temps so close together and each cylinder is reacting on the spot with all the others, superb!
I like "New" things, things that where optimized on the knowledge for actual experience. Because of this I tend to no. 2, but the lack of Installation manual and that
a few VAF forum members say that it was the wrong decicion to go with AVStar ... pull me a bit more to no. 1.
Which one would you choose and why?
Thanks for any assistance!
