If I did it again I'd either balance them evenly, or put the same components in the right wing instead of the left to offset my own weight when solo.... -
I like it Jared, the first step towards a good safety initiative. -
I wanted to add how we addressed this issue (similar to what others did) and some other information about it that I discovered while resolving it....Last edited by Nev; Yesterday, 05:24 PM.Leave a comment:

Note - Although the aircraft was flying wings level, ball centered, we discovered later that the heading was changing. If I flew with the heading fixed,... -
I used lock wire on those similarly located fairleads - a bit easier to install and remove than the rings....Leave a comment:

Heavy wing

Whee, I understand your logic with this. Out of curiosity, after running a tank dry, do you then fly with the ball slightly toward the dry tank to ensure... -
I guess a Totalizer can only measure the fuel that passes through the transducer, so in the case of a fuel leak or missing fuel cap then it can't measure...Last edited by Nev; 11-29-2022, 04:20 AM.Leave a comment:

Nev Bailey - 4-place B Kitlog
Here's my Kitlog. It was updated daily throughout my built, with photos on most posts to hopefully help anyone else building the 4-place. Huge thanks...Last edited by Nev; 11-27-2022, 03:44 AM. -

This is great Jared.
I was lucky to have spent time flying with Battson and also refreshing my tailwheel training with an instructor prior...Last edited by Nev; 11-27-2022, 03:47 AM.Leave a comment:
