Hi, love your videos. I built and fly an ELSA version that appears identical to your SLSA. 165 Hrs total time. One correction, you have redundant fuel injectors. I understand that both operate in each cylinder normally but will adjust to compensate if one fails. I'm not a big fan of ESP. I had a faulty ADAHRS from first flight, reared its ugly head at an inopportune time, replaced for free by Van's / Garmin, that tried to manipulate the stick based upon faulty attitude indication. The concept is good, but I'm not convinced execution is as robust. The Level Flight button on the autopilot control head may have saved my life, and that of my sons, in an inadvertent entry into IMC. All the very best!
I learn something every day! I did not know each cylinder had two injectors! Thanks for that. As for ESP, except for practice stalls and steep turns, I would never know it was there. Actually I stumbled onto it one day while doing a stall series - I needed to read the Garmin manual from cover to cover, which I since have done. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Excellent video!!!
Thank you Paul!
