Has anyone used a Revflow carb on their Aerovee?

Don't know of anyone with one on the AeroVee but I know Dave Clay has one on his Hummel and he seemed pretty happy with it. You might want to try and get in touch with him.

I just got off the phone with Scott Cassler discussing this very same question. He is building my engine this week and I am still trying to decide what I want to use for a carb. He commonly uses the Zenith carb on his engines but will install whatever you want. He happens to have a revflow carb in stock as well. I am curious to hear people's opinions on this subject of zenith vs slide carb? Lots of variables with both.

I have the revflow carb on my revmaster , when I purchased the plane , it was sitting for some time so I took it all apart and cleaned it , and re tuned it to my liking , it was very easy to tune and has been running great as far as the carb had a few other minor issues but not revflow related , I know some guys with aerovee send hours and hours of tweaking , and tuning , I Probaly adjusted this carb in 45 min tops , and very happy with it , might actually richer it up a bit this week I'm getting high egt on climb out but that's all , cruise is perfect , thinking I won't even touch it
