Something like that, something which physically pinches into the tube to hold it fast.... -

Truth. Better to invest in fuel injection and run lean of peak, far more effective and efficient than adding extra tanks....Leave a comment:

Easily done with the right technique!
I stand on the tire and put my knee on the wing strut. I haven't needed a ladder in years.

Polyflow brake fittings loosening over time
During our 100hr check (630 hrs elapsed and 5 years in service) we identified that the Polyflow fittings which join the Nylaflow hose were all loose.... -
Mine is a QB kit. We measured very precisely too, so I can't say where the difference is. -
As a point of comparison, that's not the way they measured on my plane, 0.5" in front.

Suggest you make make sure the clamp is tight, so it doesn't vibrate and slowly wear a hole through the fuel line. -
Yes I mixed up acceleration and velocity. My bad. I was thinking same as dropping a plane 10 ft off the ground, but that give the right average velocity... -
With the materials we are discussing, galvanic corrosion is only a problem if an electrolyte is present. Inside the wing is pretty dry. No problems so...Last edited by Battson; 11-28-2018, 07:46 PM.Leave a comment:

Turbos are great...Last edited by Battson; 11-28-2018, 07:40 PM.Leave a comment:
