I CAN put the fuel pumps/filters etc on the firewall but MAN is it going to be crowded. I started thinking about other options and found a very attractive one. The original plan and design was to put the Vertical Power unit under the passenger support or "brain box" as I called it. Great Idea however I found that the fuel pumps and filters fit Fantastically well in that spot and solve 3 issues. 1: the pumps are not having to "suck" on so much fuel line, 2: The mass amount of wire to and from the Panel up front would no longer need to be run through the consoles, and 3: changing filters will be a snap compared to removing the cowling every time. Not to mention there is plenty of room left in the nose for the Vertical Power which makes a lot more sense from an avionics point of view. The only draw back would be a fuel leak inside the cabin, however, I believe the smell would be a good warning that we wouldn't get if they were on the firewall.
I am also about to order my engine which means a LOT of study to make sure my order includes all neccessary accessories, correct prop flange, probe kits...and the list goes on.
