Clem,
I initially ran my engine (without priming) off the header tank alone and it was
happy to start and reach full power. This was on the ground, normal flight attitude
on a 912ULS.

| Subject: | spring gear flexing & brake lines |
Our KF-IV is nearly completed, but I just watched the Kitfox video of the spring
gear flexing on landing. The center of the grove gear flexes 2 or 3 inches
below the belly. My concern is our brake lines breaking with gear flex. Our lines
come through the center console out the belly in the fuselage center, then
zip tie to the gear and run outward to the fittings in the gear near the fuselage
sides. My concern is that the amount the gear moves down below the belly
will tear the lines loose. Other than re-doing the brakes lines so they come down
the sides of the fuselage or cutting the zip ties and letting the lines flap
in the breeze, does anyone have a better idea?
thanks,
Clem

Clem,
Not sure what you are running for brake line, I used the flexible plastic
line, I did however run my lines from the brake pedals along the outboard
inside edge of the fuselage and exited through the bottom of the fuselage
just behind the pivot attach point for the spring gear, lines will see the
least amount of movement at this location from gear flex. My gear is not gun
drilled so my lines continue down the rear edge of the gear in a factory
milled grove.
