Just a thought, but are we all doing our backup fuel pumps incorrectly????
Someone mentioned to me the other day, what if, the main pump fails in
such a
way as to totally block the system. Would the backup pump be able to push
the fuel
past the blockage? I guess probably not. Should we not be paralleling the
main pump, with
a non return valve after each pump, so pressure is not lost back through
the other pump.
I realise the convention is to series the pumps, to "lift" the fuel to the
main pump, but
is the convention correct, or is this giving us all a false sense of
security.
Just a thought.

Top This For A Speeding Ticket
Don't know if true, but fun to pretend if it is not.
Ron Parigoris
Two traffic patrol officers from North Berwick (E. Lothian, Scotland)
were
involved in an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on
the A-1
Great North Road. One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to
check the
speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and was surprised
when
the speed was recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar suddenly stopped
working and
the officers were not able to reset it.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar
had in
fact latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet which was engaged in a
low-flying
exercise over the Border district, approaching from the North Sea.
Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff
complaint
to the RAF Liaison office.
Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style:
"Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on
this
incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the
Tornado
had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile
radar
equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it.
Furthermore, an
air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also
automatically
locked onto your equipment. Fortunately, the pilot flying the Tornado
recognized
the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile systems
alert
status, and was able to override the automated defense system before the
missile
was launched and your hostile radar installation was destroyed.

craig,
The only aileron trim servo I'm aware of is attached to a moveable trim
tab on the trailing edge of the aileron itself. One example of this
type of servo is shown here:
www.europaowners.orgmodules.php?set_albumName=album126&id=60_Aileron_tri
m&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php
If you have trouble w/ the long link, go to europaowners Gallery, go to
Cliff Shaw's albums, namely, the one entitled, "Aileron trim tab"...5
images w/ a bit of text.
Hope this helps,
Fred
