| Subject: | Re: Flying with full down trim |
So just to clarify this Pete; was it the trim indicator on the instrument panel
that you set at the full down position? My aircraft flies fine with full down
trim selected though its not very comfortable on departure or approach and requires
a higher pilot work load. With 2 bars down trim selected my observations
show the aircraft wanting to pitch up on departure as speed increases; again
uncomfortable flying if trim is not adjusted down further.
Interesting point made regarding departure attitude and possible fuel starvation.
Many factors, haven't read the incident report; was aux fuel pump on? Why did
the pilot elect to take off with such a low fuel reserve? Was reserve position
selected at the fuel valve?

Hi All,
Linda and will be at SnF Monday and Tuesday only.
As the FAA building will be closed this year, if Europa folks have
AME-related questions, I will be available to consult.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

| Subject: | Re: Fuel coupling hoses at bottom of fuel tank |
Thanks for the references Bud.
Thanks to all this feedback I think that my initial selection of hose was appropriate.
The swelling I am referring to is at the line between the plastic boss
and the aluminum fitting. The fitting is properly in the boss. Why did it happen
who knows. I will try to make a picture of it.
Will, not sure about you rquestion but here is a picture of the newly installed
vent. As you can see, the CM fiberglass goes around the boss. It used to be a
little tighter and the coupling hose would butt against it preventing from being
inserted further in. I ground off some of the glass to increase the clearance
which you can see the picture shows the hose further into the boss almost
to the tank.
I think I will be fine. Will keep an eye on these components and if I have issues
again will find some other brand of hose.
Best Regards,
Chris

Thanks... how did you find the aircraft handled in circuit on downwind and final
with the trim set as you had? Did you find it a situation that was challenging
or easily physically mitigated?

everybody and aircraft are different, but simple bit of pressure and
nothing special. Of course daydreaming isn't allowed (and never should be
;-) )
The flare is obviously odd....if one is used to being trimmed out on final.
Cheers,
PeteZ
