There was a great little article in the newsletter a while back about fuelflow with low fuel, and under acceleration.The combination caused a condition of insufficient fuel flow pressure. So,you think you have enough fuel in the tank and go take off but didn'taccount for the acceleration forces resisting the fuel pressure, which isnow pretty low.Something to think about.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 09:00:19 -0500

That's what I do Bill.Sent from my iPadJack TextorOn May 31, 2013, at 8:04 AM, "Bill Church" wrote:> > As Douwe said, camping at Brodhead is operated on a donation basis. However,I would suggest that the donation be a little more generous than five bucks.That would barely cover the cost of the souvenir pin, let alone renting the porta-pottiesand providing hot water for showers. I think twenty per person mightbe a better starting point (feel free to go up from there). Typical feesat a campground run at least 20 dollars a night, so it's still a bargain.> Bill C.> > > > > Read this topic online here:> > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 659#401659> > > > > > > > > > ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 08:56:23 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: fuel flow

Steve: the tank straps on Scout are padded with felt, maybe 1/4" thick. Not surewhere Corky got it. The felt is tacked/glued onto the metal straps to keepit in place. You can see it in the second picture up from the bottom, here:http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/incide ... -----Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Gas tank strap padding

I=92m sure some of you that have built Riblett 612 ribs can help with this.I purchased the 612 plans several years ago and when I started to build ribsrecently I found that the paper template had shrunk. So, using the X,Y plotpoints provided I decided to loft a new template. The upper and lowerpoints are plotted and connected and the profile and outer dimensions lookcorrect.My problem is how to locate the spars. I see that the center to centermeasurement between the =BE=94 spars is 28 =BE=94, but where on the X axis is themain spar located? Are the spars perpendicular to the cord line or relativeto something else? The template I received shows them canted forward aboutfive degrees from perpendicular to the cord.The same is true of the internal braces. Is there anything that tellsexactly where they go?I=92m uncomfortable with all of this because with so much precision in anairfoil I=92d like to think there is a function or purpose for most of thedimensions.Allan MacklemLate StarterElkhorn, NE________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: fuel flow

Michael,There is a side view drawing without dimensions on West Coast Piet. When I get home from the airport tonight I will try and post pictures and a dimensioned drawing.
