Exclamation Looking for good tutorial on installing vacuum-driven gyro instruments.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a good tutorial on installing vacuum driven gyro instruments in an experimental aircraft. I understand the basics, but not the finer points yet!

Questions arising:

1) should instruments be connected to vacuum in series or parallel,

2) what sort of regulator should be obtained & where from (UK),

3) does the regulator need constant adjustment throughout this aircraft's 20,000ft operating ceiling,

4) what would the estimated, combined flow rate in l or cu.ft. per second be, for a horizon gyro and a heading indicator?

Many thanks in advance.
