Always enjoy your videos and insight! Totally agree with keeping it light and simple and making the most efficient power you can! Looking forward to the next one!
The best mods I did on my plane was fuel injection, and electronic ignition. There's a reason the automotive world quit using carburetors and magnetos years ago. In their quest for safety the FAA has caused the aviation world to get stuck in the past and in my opinion kept a safer technology from being used. Thank goodness for experimental airplanes. I will caution you to watch your temperatures. CHT and EGT sensors for every cylinder is a must have when you do these mods.
Amazing airplane Todd. Of course we were expecting nothing less. Bummer about having to deal with fuel leaks on something that's so expensive in the first place . I like the philosophy of keeping it light. I'm curious about the weight difference between your firewall forward set up and Hal's with the new Rotax. It's cool to see the progression with performance. Especially with something that is already simply badass! Goodluck man and looking forward for the next video.
Did you purchase or fabricate your gap seals? Did you consider the MATCO parking brake valve? It works with just one cable pull that you could place somewhere more accessible like your panel.
I have the same Whirlwind prop and engine (injected). What pitch are you running and what's your static RPM? Just curious. Great airplane. Have fun and stay safe.
When you first announced you were doing this I remember thinking that you were going to miss the turbo SO badly. I don't think I had any idea how capable the BLT really would be. That slow approach, landing and freaking short stop was amazing at 7,000'. The takeoffs seem to be just as good. Once you have the fuel injection system dialed in, I may have to take back every thought I had about the turbo! You've come a long way brother!
Hay Brother, we really need to find a better place 4 the camera! so we can see what YOU are seeing! Please! when you put it in the middle it helped a bunch. I'm not bitchen , just want to see it all like you do.
Amazing stuff. Looking forward to it all.

Would love to see the installation of the new intake and fuel injection. Great update. Cheers from Winnipeg, and Merry Christmas.
Bummer about cowl re-design, does yours have the same resin that Hal had? If so, is this a chance, not just for a new shape but also new chemistry?
Looks like you’re loving it. It’s good to hear updates.

I have a Rotec TBI on my 0-320. Immediately evened out my egts and also better fuel burn. Runs better, starts better....I love it. Just an FYI

Good stuff, keep it coming.
Watch out for these SHARP blade tips..let them stand up/down great plane by the way. Greetings from España/Iceland

Is that JP engine monitor system?

Looking good Todd! You're going to love the efficiency of that injection.
