Hey Dan, In aircraft location Stations = distance from 0.0 (X) to item from nose to tail, Butt lines = Distance from centerline out toward wing tips (Y), Waterline = Distance in vertical from a

Hi G-BXOY has the top mounted flush filler, works great. Jims idea good too. Mine has a stand pipe directly below the filler cap with hole cut at top to work as standard standpipe (overflow) all

You've got to love QAC. . . I have been working with a set of LS1 templates and trying to figure out how they get lined up on the ends of the foam blocks. The LS1 instructions say to use the same

Hi Jon, I just made the edge of the cowl straight. With cowl screwed in place, Duct taped the cowl edge for paint clearance and release then filled the gap with filler. Guaranteed perfect

The last line should have read: "p.s. Tygon is a trade name for various kinds of tubing, not all of THEM polyurethane." _____ From: Q-LIST@... [mailto:Q-LIST@...] On

I am fitting the cowl I fabricated to fit the Corvair engine to the fuselage of my TriQ and I am wondering if there is any finishing techniques to make the seam nice and even. I am sanding the cowl

There are two types of polyurethane tubing: Ether based and Ester based. The Ether based tubing is what you want. The Ester based tubing breaks down when exposed to moisture (water in fuel, high

Rick Engine sounds good....just be careful pointing your plane into a hangar with people around.  Congratulations. Dave D

In complete deference to my friend John, whom I know is an expert in urethane and knows more about the subject than the bare inkling that I will ever have, I have been using urethane tubing with great

Sanjay, I would use rubber tubing instead of urethane tubing for fuel lines. We have seen some bad instances here in Australia of urethane fuel tubing degrading (

Rick,Starting the engine must have been pretty exciting!! Glad to hear all of the problems are being worked out!Fun to hear of your progress!Bruce Crain

The fuel sensors turned out to be resistor-simulator types and once I figured that out it was easy to get them to send a signal to the dual-meter gauge and to the GRT engine monitor. The two fuel

Sanjay----- On my airplanes I use automotive rubber fuel lines. They don't harden and last forever. On another note regarding header tanks. On the Dragonfly we leave the fuel pump on all the time

Since you will service the fuel filter regularly, I would consider changing the fittings so you have a flare fitting on each end of the filter. It won't take many servicings before you will say "I'm

Many Thanks, Jim, Sam Kittle also sent me some pics of his tank offline, which apparently was modelled after yours, so am able to visualize your description. Thanks also for the extra comments about

Hi Jay, My fuels system is a one off. So here goes. The header tank does not go fully across the fuselage like plans built tanks. It was made to fit to the right side of the radio stack centered in

Hi Jay, sounds like you're doing the right things. Good luck. Chris From: Q-LIST@... [mailto:Q-LIST@...] On Behalf Of scheevel@... Sent: 05 July 2011 16:38 To:
