Hi Duncan and all,
Remember, though, that one has to determine where the pressure
distribution changes from low pressure to higher pressure. What you
mention is OK at the very foot of the windscreen.
As long as the airflow accelerates, the pressure is low, and a NACA
scoop will not flow in the right sense. I know of several designs where
NACA scoops are BLOWING air instead of letting it in, to the
surprise/dismay of their builder or designer ;-)
My two cents,
Regards,

As to cost... I started building Monowheel 550 in 2003 and have kept a =

for less than GBP55K (perhaps nearer GBP60K) & that's with a second hand =
Rotax. I guess that's in line with your build cost, Danny. =20
I'd concur that a 2006 cost would indeed be GBP79+K. (I'm talking as a =

Subject: | Favorite way to filter and carry fuel? |
--> Europa-List message posted by: <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
Curious
1) What is favorite way of those flying to filter fuel before it goes into
your tank?
2) Has anyone ever tried to put lets say 2 parallel Pro-805 filters in
neck of a funnel? Or would that be too much restriction if you wanted to
complete filling tank before bedtime?
3) What is favorite way of carrying gas from a Mogas pump to plane when
you are going somewhere away from home?
a) Don't do it and buy 100LL?
b) Use aux tank to transport fuel, or is it too heavy to put in plane when
full?
c) Other?
Thx.

Ron,
I don't filter mogas, nor does my friend at the airport with a 914 mono,
and he has 500+ hours on it with no contamination problems.
Has anyone in the US / Canada sourced one of the 12V transfer pumps
mentioned by the UK flyers.
Lifting 25 litres to the top of the fuselage is a bit of an effort.

Hi Dave
I supplied these pumps over here in the U.K. and still have a few left
if anyone is interested. I have a second home in Daytona Fl. And will be
over there in June for a month, so if anyone on your side of the pond
wants one of these great little pumps, then I can bring some over with
me and mail them out from there.
Kind Regards

Alan,
Much appreciated.
If you could let me know the cost including shipping, I will send a money
order.
It's probably as easy to send from the UK to Canada, as it is to ship up
from the States, and may be more chance of it getting through without
taxes being added,
Thanks,
Dave

Kingsley,
If you look at the following link http://www.europaowners.org/modules.php?set_albumName=Fun-Non-Build-Pictures&id=P3180001&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php you will see 2 NACA vents. The lower one is for the air intake. The next link http://www.europaowners.org/modules.php?set_albumName=album48&id=dscn0981&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php shows the air intake from the hose to manifold then on to the carbs. The smaller upper NACA vent is an additional fresh air inlet to an eyeball vent. Both of these NACA vents provide very good air supply/flows. While there hasn't been any tuft testing, so far they work great.

Alan's transfer pumps are 3v - they use two D cells ! Not
12 v !

Ron,
I have 3, 5 gallon plastic fuel containers that are used only for aircraft (Mogas)
fuel. I refuel the aircraft just prior to the next flight, and purchase that
fuel while en-route to the airport. I do not filter the fuel prior to putting
it in the aircraft since it is fresh from the gas station (making the big
assumption their fuel is clean). Also prior to adding fuel to the aircraft or
moving the aircraft, not wanting to disturb any settled contaminants, I sump
all of the fuel drains into a glass quart jar. I sump about a pint from each
drain. And depending on that fuels condition, I put it in my auto since I can
and not back into the aircraft.
As one who has used small fuel trucks for 30 years in the commercial helicopter
industry, if I had a small 100 to 150 gallon portable fuel tank, then I would
incorporate a 2 filter system for both particles and a water separation filter.

I use one of the funnels AC Sprice sell that have a fine mesh filter. The
claim is that it is fine enough to remove water. Humping the 6 gallon jerry

David,
We won't be able to join you on the tour this year as we are in South
America and will be here until November. Hope that the tour goes without any
snags and that you all have good weather throughout the trip. Safe
flying....or is the term Blue skies?!
Regards,
Dari and Gail

Flying our mono wheel from a grass strip. I notice a lot of dirt and =
bits of grass everywhere in the cabin - on the center console, in the =
baggage foot wells and even on the narrow shelf of the rear D panel. =
Also lots of dirt and debris in the rear of the fuselage - especially 1 =
to 2 feet aft of the rear baggage bay bulkhead (only noticeable with its =
D panel removed). I have seals on the MG airbrake lever and a lay in =
place cover over the flap / wheel retract lever (similar to Jim Brown). =
Just recently sealed the panel behind the main tire better.
Have others found ways to seal things better and keep the plane a bit =
cleaner inside?
