Re: Fuel pump & condition inspection
It's an obsolete gascolator. If you have a chance to buy one, don't bother. The clear tubing is for my static ports, just moved out of the way whilst changing the pump.

Re: Fuel pump & condition inspection
Thanks Sam. Cool to see your layout. I might suggest putting a second adel clamp and mount at the base of each pump (similar to what you have at the top) to limit longitudinal vibration. May increase

I've been around some deltas where the tower mantra seems to be the opposite of, "keep things

Fuel pump & condition inspection
As I was coming back from Topeka a couple of weeks ago, one of my fuel injection fuel pumps gave up the ghost. I have a redundant setup, so no problem. Since I have to take the tail off to replace the

Re: Option for lifting wing
Whether air bag or hydraulic, do take precaution against jack failure. Don't be underneath anything that could drop. For wheel service the risk is not great.

Seems like a great idea, Corbin I don' t see any issues. Looks like it spreads the load very nicely.
