DuraFlame:
Andy is still in business. However the last year has seen him go thru some very difficult times in his personal/family life. He had to step away for a while. I talked to him two weeks ago and he said he is now trying to get his shop back "up to speed" and update his website. He is in the process of moving his shop (same city just different building) but told me he would monitor his e-mails and reply as quickly as he can (his CRX Designs is his "second job") so he may not reply immediately but he will reply.

I had a similar problem in my JJ1800 that I saw same fuel under my plane. I removed the cowing (front cover) and discovered two things. I had leak in the in the fuel line that comes out of the Festo type "T" under the cowling. This is the T that feeds the fuel to the combustion chamber as well as provides the fuel/oil to the bearings. I also found that the "T" had a small crack in it. I sent it back to Andy and he did the repairs for a very reasonable price. I now have about 39 hours on my 1800 and just began running it on Diesel (using the King Tech oil) . Could not be happier as it starts every time and runs very well.
