I have ran one for 22 years on N30WW. I fly with the mechanical , land and take off with the electric or any time below 1000 feet AGL. I guess this is a carry over from my Cherokee days. Dick you know you have restarted the no fuel saga on a Thorp. |

I have never used a shroud.. Bottom line 93.2 % do not use a fuel pump and 93.2 % do |
