If I maintain 60 mph all the way to flair I'll get a float. Not a long one butI'll get one. If I'm in the 50 range coming down final and hold that till flairthere isn't a float or much room for error. Get a nice short landing though.Of course with a large passenger those speeds will yield less of a float.In fact with a passenger I try to never let my speed get much below 60 mph.It just pays off the speed so quick and it is kinda nice to have a little bitof speed to 'feel' for the runway. Finding myself at the top of a 'balloon'without speed is not fun. I've done that enough I should know! Ha! Gives thosebungees a good workout.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Floats????????????????Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:14:32 -0400

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuel Transfer Tank.As I'm a mogas user, I've grown tired of hauling 5 Gallon cans, and hoisting them to the top of my wing. I'm envisioning a truck bed mount transfer tank. Anyone built one, or used one?Safety is important, as is convenience. I'm imagining a 40-50 gallon tank with a 12v pump.Thanks,Steve Eldredge47' Stinson 108-2and Pietenpol Aircamperstinson(at)byu.edu[cid:image001.gif(at)01C885F6.48D7F260]________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Fuel Transfer Tank.

Steve,I think it was a Kitplanes magazine several years back that did an article on justthis thing. It was it's own self contained trailer. really a nice setupand was grounded for safety. All homemade so it could probably be done fairlyinexpensively. I know exactly what you mean about having this kind of thing.The Piet isn't so bad but the Stinson I'm sure is another matter. More fuelto haul up on that wing and more cost for burning more avgas. Sounds like justthe thing for ya.

Another area to look towards, farmers. I see lots of farm pickups with tanks inthe bed with simple pumps so they can go out in the field and fill up theirtractors. Just a thought...DonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
