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. craig 11:59 AM ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:39:28 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Off topic speeding ticket From: 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. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:23:36 PM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Aileron Trim servo From: Fred Klein > Can someone point me in the right direction to an article i saw (here > i think) where someone had made a composite "horse shoe" spring an > attached it to the aileron push rod under the cockpit module along > with a small servo 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.
