Facet Pumps in series

something, you have to watch the model you buy. Facet implements 2 feature

There are some pretty specific "rules" that govern speed from a resulting
change in power. Basically, to achieve approximately 25% increase in top
speed you will have to double the power. To achieve approximately 40%

Thanks for the service ceiling info guys. I was just mentioning to someone
the other day that I have a gaggle of family that live on or close to the
left coast and was looking at the charts to see what trips to their various
locations might look like, hence the question about service ceiling.

Not planning to have a header tank, just a tank in each wing. The back up
