Just thought I'd start things off here. I fly a Zenair Zodiac CH-601-HD out
of Springbank Airport near Calgary, Alberta, Canada. There are a few similar
Zenairs here, and some other homebuilts as well. It is a very scenic
airport, just a half hour's flight from the Rocky Mountains. I sometimes do
a circle tour around Kananaskis Country Park following Highway 40 between
some 10,000 foot peaks. I would be interested to hear from any other
homebuilders in the area.

Also: I am considering installing a capacitance-type fuel level indicator on
my one and only main fuel tank, located ahead of the instrument panel. My
current level gauge is a clear plastic sight tube that does not show the
bottom 50% of the fuel tank level, and I don't like that.

Has anyone used the Skysports or Westach systems from Aircraft Spruce? How
do you mount the sensor? Is it accurate? Any problems?
