Doug, the other day I trued out at 208 mph, full throttle, straight and level, at 5,500". And that was without a spinner. I use the spreadsheet provided by the National Test Pilot's school to

At cruise speed my indicated is typically 7 mph higher than it should be on the steam gauge and just about right on my Dynon EFIS. It's real easy to go 230 mph indicated in a shallow decent, I

Peter, As previously stated, my 5/8" return line is at the very top of the header with the 3/16"? vent tube bent into the top of it. The fuel in header is consistantly 1-1/2" below that level when

Earnest, I have been an advocate of a good sound design for the vent system on our Q's that would be foolproof enough to avoid the need for the complexity of a boost pump. I am at the point where I

Mike, what was your indicated airspeed? Doug "Hawkeye" Humble www.asignabove.net Omaha NE N25974

I keep trying to make good measurements but with the standard 0-200A and a 2 blade wood prop turning 2800 RPM I measure 205 MPH true at sealevel 29.92 inch on a 59deg F day. Mike Q200 N3QP HawkiDoug

Those of you who go fast, have you seen 200 mph indicated or true, or both? It concerns a conversation I'm having with a RV6 friend of mine. Doug "Hawkeye" Humble www.asignabove.net Omaha NE N25974

Another option for all of you to critically evaluate: use a separate vent for the aux tank. Putting a check valve in the fuel line would prevent loss of pressurization if a leak developed in the aux

Doug, I have seen 220 IAS many times but not in level flight. Only 185 to 190 IAS in level flight will tri gear. Earnest

Tad, You obviously did not build your Phoenix, otherwise you would not be prefacing "I believe" in front of your pronouncements about your canard's structural material. Please take the

Bob, which flowscan transducer did you test? I was looking into them a while back and the suggestion seemed to be 201s for pump feed, 231 for gravity. I know of a Varieze driver who has installed a

I understand your concern Ernest. I just wanted to make sure I understood the problem for myself. I actually don't like topping off my main tank and I wanted to know if I'm avoiding the issue by

On my taildragger Q200, the fuel fill point is below the top of the overflow tube in the header tank. I can't fill my tank any higher than the fill point, which leaves the main tank fuel level well

Jim is right, James Postma's GU Q2 suffered a strucrural canard problem caused by migration of fuel due to a leaky header tank.BAAAD JU JU ! Now how to fix it. The canard , without amputation????

Jim, wasn't it you that suggested that builders use AN fittings instead of floxed in tube for main tank and header tank? Upon inspection of N8427 I discovered several (Patch jobs) on floxed in tubing
