| Subject: | Re: Header tank location |
The drain is right in the very bottom of the header tank, and is a
"sensible drain" in my opinion...that is, the floor of the tank dips
down to the drain, unlike the wing tank drain locations, which look
like they dip down but they don't. Also, the fuel outlet is about 1"
at least above this location, so you have a large capacity for gunk
to locate before it EVER would get high enough to go out the fuel
outlet hole.
I set my tank up so that the quick drain is right at the fabric
surface, then reinforced the fabric around the hole, and used a
plastic ring around that hole that has a flange on it for gluing to
the fabric.

| Subject: | Runway marker question |
I want to start introducing my kitfox to some turf runways so I walked into the
Easton Wash. airstrip today. I wanted to walk the runway and check the condition
before I land there.
There are orange and black checkered markers midway on the edge of the field.
Do these mean something special except "Don't run into the trees". I can't find
anything about them anywhere.
http://www.airnav.com/airport/KESW
Pictures attached.
The runway is in excellent condition if anyone was wondering.

Okay the 1/2 way point makes sense. Thats where they are located. There are trees
on both ends. One would not want to lift off too late.
