Went up for an early morning check flight yesterday; cold as... everybody tucked
away in bed; had the whole sky to myself.
Rolled over the prop and had compression on all four pots this time, so will put
the previous issue down to carbon fleck under the valve seat.
Sky looked magic... rotated off 23, got to 500' and started hitting bumps, climbed
through to 1000' and started getting thrown around like a cork in a kiddie
pool; oh well we're up here now, may as well put in some time; wasn't fun.
Flew around for 30min and brought 181 into circuit at 100kt downwind, maintained
1000' and 100kt before turning final for undercarriage and flaps followed by
dropping it all the way in at 1000fpm and 70kt for a great landing considering
having rough air and then tree rotors to play with; glad all the great training
kicked in.
Engine ran really sweet; ready to sort out and tune for mixtures.

Here is a photo of Finn enjoying his flight. At only 18 lbs, he fits nicely on
top of the cockpit module between the headrests. Heather says he really pays
attention and anticipates what is happening, like engine start, take off, gear
movement etc. He looks out some and then sleeps.

So it appears i am another victim of cracked fuel tank. I filled up, right
up the neck a couple of days ago and no abnormalities. Today i filled up
and fuel was leaking significantly from the top tank shelf.
Does anyone by chance have a fuel tank that they want to get rid of?
I would also be interested in an unuseable one as i am toying with the idea
of constructing an aluminum one.
Photographs of the tank pre instalation would also be useful.
Many thanks
Will

Will,
Here is a sketch of my fuel tank with some dimensions, sorry about the
metric dimensions, all my rulers are metric, hope this helps.
Cheers,
Brian Phillips
