Hi,
I intend to exit the filler neck vent under the fuselage, does it need to
face forward to airflow ( using 90 Deg. bend ), straight down or
turned aft ? Or does it make no difference ?
Steve.

Probably overkill but i ran two breathers from the cobra both from the top,
the main one is in 3/8 metal from a large non return valve down the fuselage
side and exits just in front of the flap behind the wing, the second vent
is run
in 1/4 aluminium down to the rear baggage bay and across the middle and
through the floor to exit facing slightly rearwards, Nether pipe appear to
vent fuel in
flight only on the ground if overfilled,

I put mine under fuselage in a position out board of the flap hinge cover to protect
from spray from mono!

Steve & All,
I too have vented from the underside of the fuselage; I've used the
malleable SS tubing provided in the kit and, following the manual in
terms of the orientation, have bent it so the open end of the tubing
faces forward; I have also drilled the 2, 1/8" dia. holes at the rear-
facing side of the vent tubing called for in the manual.
I am still in the build process and cannot attest that this functions
as intended. I attach a photo.
Comments appreciated, especially if something seems amiss,
Fred

Steve,
As Fred said, point it forward. I too drill holes in the aft end in
case of a bug hit, dirt from muddy ground etc. I set mine glassed to
the aft bulkhead on the trigear or on one of the outboard floor supports
in the mono on the starboard side. It is not wise to place the vent on
the centerline for contaminates from the nose or main wheel and be clear
of the exhaust. 1/4 inch tube will work OK.
The object is that the vent will positively vent and the holes in the
rear keep it from clogging or building too much pressure.

Bud Yerly

| Subject: | tire sizes & dimensions |
I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a reference which would
describe the dimensional differences between the 600 x 6, 700 x 6, and
800 x 6 tires for the monowheel.
I've always assumed that the differences in these tires would be
variations in width...but does anyone know if the diameter of these
tires (or tyres) varies as well?
(Checking back in Chap. 29m of the build manual, I had forgotten that
it mentions the 600 x 6 tire, as I can only recall posts which
discussed the relative merits of the 700 & 800.)
Much obliged,
Fred

There's one more reason for the holes in the rear of the vent tubes,-they
were originally specified by our leader Burt Rutan=0Ato vent any rain wate
