own opinion and given in jest, no problem. Thin skinned need not apply
here.
Now, I put my SlingShot up on blocks after flying it cause I need the wheels
for my four wheeler during hunting season and for baiting out of season. I
take them once in a while for use on the lawn mower although it is so dry
here in the south we are importing water from Aridzona. (We dont have many
wildfires cause peanuts and cotton dont get high nuff to burn good.)
I studied hard for all the tests but I am a mustang flyer with no formal
training so it was tough (oldtimers decease didnt help)seems I remember
everything that dont matter and nothing I want to. I would recommend to
anyone to get a CD package that shows hands on controls and one on one
teaching. It is not that hard, just gotta stay with it and get it done
while it is still in your head.
Now, gotta get out there and find that armadillo I shot last night in the

pumping water. I also manufacture diving compressors and this is the same theory
we use for air volume and pressure with a surface supplied air system. When
you are at idle your engine does not require a large volume of fuel so there
is a back pressure (so to speak) that you get measured on the pressure gage.
When you throttle up to max throttle then your engine is requiring all the volume
that your pump delivers and there is no pressure left because the engine
is using all the volume that the pump puts out. As you throttle back the engine
needs less fuel and you have a slight excess volume which also shows that you
have some available volume which reads on your gage as pressure. When you add
the second pump it delivers more volume than the engine can use and it shows
up as some pressure on the gage. Being at 0.0 pressure is not bad at wide open
unless you need additional fuel for more rpm. If yo

John,
Another thought - one of the problems I've had with the Azusa
expansion type brakes is there drums are not perfectly round which
causes grabbing as the wheel rotates. Also this is influenced by
what wheels you have, - the wheel barrow type wheels where you had
to center the drum best you could and drill holes through the steel
wheel to mount the brake drum. If you have wheels that allow the
drums to be mounted using the wheels manufactured hole pattern, they
may work a little better, but the drums in side surface still are not
perfectly round. I have seen drums offered where they turn the
inside surface to true up the drum, but they cost more. I previously
made comment about using band brakes which can have two issues, do
they produce enough braking power for your size aircraft (probably
would) and how well do they work once they get wet? The O'Brien
really work well plus you can easily remove a wheel unlike some of
the others out there. Give them more thought.

Yes, the use/misuse of homophones is between rampant and almost
epizootic. Using my built-in homophone detector I find the no.1
culprit "your" misused for "you're. A close second is "there" for
'their." And, drum roll, "sight" for "site" (and vv.), with a rare
usage of "cite."
And the almost constant misuse of the dreaded apostrophe in non-
possessive plurals, such as "the two ultralight's."
Yeah, I can hear/here it now; Well, you can understand it, so bugger

Richard,
If your not running ethanol blend gas what then are you running? In
the metro-plex areas like Dallas, there is no choice except for the
summer blend unless your willing to drive many miles to get to a
station located out side the defined perimeter that sells the normal
ethanol free gas.

After 40 or so years of writing, editing and proofreading am still picking
up typos off every page, but since probably 90% of Phds can't write, have
come to expect less from the plebians. And, have decided effort made to
communicate is a positive step, so I am willing to make the step to cut
through the mispellings, non-agreements and poor construction to get the
message. Some of the brightest and most innovative can't tell right from
write but have abilities to tweak things not words. Might be worth
remembering that some of us grew up with dictionaries in hand and some
pulling cow teats (or tits, if that helps).

In re recent talk of O-rings -- they're great little items. We did
some research on them when I was building underwater camera cases,
and found they should always be lubricated to prevent spalling &
minute tears that would eventually cause leaks.
A Chap-Stick is an excellent lubricant, clean to use and easy to
carry. Just rub on thumb & index finger, then rub the O-ring.
An alternative is a mix of lanolin & beeswax, about 2:1

Ted,
I know in the college football circles us Tennesseans and Alabamians dont always
see eye to eye, but I just dont see what all the hubbub over conserving tires
is all about! Here in TN we have been multi-tasking out tires for years and
years also! Way long before mulit-tasking became somewhat of a desirable activity
on a computer. Besides, it sure is a lot easier to run the bush hog around
a blocked up vehicle thats got no tires, especially when the tires get flat
and the vehicle practically lies down on the ground! At work we are learning
that extra inventory costs and tires that are not being used, sound like extra
inventory to me!
But back to my reason to be writing... congratulations on the Sport Pilot ticket!
I wanted to ask if you went through any school, or self-taught, and where
did you find the instructor/aircraft/examiner? I have some vacation time, and
would even travel to a site that has all these to work through the schooling
process quickly and easily. I cant even find a flight instructor within 100 miles
of here! I need some training to be legal in my FS2. So if nothing else, what
CD package did you choose? I know the list is chock full of high time pilots
who dont need this information, but I just wanted to throw those questions
out there, for the few of us out here that are not quite "legal" yet... but are
interested in finding out more!

John & FireFlyers,
I know I am not an expert, and flying an ultralight vehicle I do not have to
consult one. But if the FireFly was "experimental" someone would have to
sign off on the re-worked swivel joint. So, I asked an A&P to look at what
I had done. His comment was that it was a "big improvement".

I thank all who have supplied me with your homophones, either
advertently, or inadvertently. My local newspaper, The
Astonisher&Daily Blatt supplies me with a plethora of homophones. A
recent example: the culprit seized officer (blank) by his waste.
Sounds like a really crappy thing to do.

All,
This is not an issue of volume vs. pressure, as was vivdly demonstrated
toady. In the past, the fuel pressure indicated 5+ psi for many hours of
flight at different throttle settings. In the last 5-10 hours of flight, the
pressure began to slowly get worse at the top end.
And then...
I had a momentary engine failure in flight today.
So it's not the sender either.
I was running on engine pump only, indicating 0.0 psi at 5200 rpm. It ran
fine for a minute and a half or so, and then shuddered and lost rpm fast. I
hit the electric pump and reduced the throttle simultaneously (adrenaline
also automatically entered the pilot control system). The engine sprung back
to life.
I was at 1500 feet over the approach end of the runway when this happened,
so there wasn't much chance of an off-field landing if the electric backup
failed to do the trick. I landed uneventfully with power to spare.
Yesterday I tested the sender and it seemed not to be working. I blamed the
sender, but for today's flight I took off with the electric pump engaged (as
always) and shut it down on downwind.
I'll be replacing the engine driven pump before the next flight.

Good move getting a 2nd opinion, but it should be noted that once an
experimental-homebuilt is signed off for flight, *anyone* can work on or
modify it. Legally, the work must be logged, but no degrees,
certificates, etc are required to perform & log the work. The only
requirement is that if it's considered a 'major modification' (changes
to structure would meet the definition), then a return to 'phase one'
flight test is required, typically for 5 hours. The details of the
procedure to return to 'phase 1' & back to 'phase 2' depend on when the
operating limitations were issued. There have been at least 3 versions
over the last 10 years.
The only time certificates & degrees come into play is the annual
'condition inspection' which must be logged by either the holder of the
'repairman's certificate' (the builder) or someone holding at least an
A&P ticket (no IA is required for experimental-homebuilt inspections).

I am firmly sold on Hauck's method, augmented by my method: Put the two
pumps in line (Hauck) and then run both of them at all times when
committing aviation. (Pike)
Have the electric pump below the level of the fuel tank, in a position
where it will always be primed. Turn on the electric pump to prime the
carbs and start the engine, and then shut it off. Taxi out and do a run
up on the engine pump to verify that it works, (Take long enough and run
it hard enough to drain the float bowls if that is going to happen) and
verify it will pull fuel through a shut down electric pump. Then turn on
the electric pump and then take off. Your experience today validates
this method.
Also, I like to have the fuel pressure gauge pickup between the electric
pump and the engine driven pump. It is unlikely that you will have a
failure mode on the engine driven pump that is so bad the electric pump
will be unable to force fuel through it, so if you can verify that the
electric pump is pressurizing the system between itself and the engine
pump, then you know your status. On a 582 with a Mikuni double pumper
pulse pump, the Facet gives 3.5 pounds at idle, and 2 pounds at full
throttle between itself and the Mikuni. Comforting to watch as I climb
out over those big electric towers...

Jerb,
I believe they would work. McMaster Carr sells disk springs and belleville
washers. I have easy access to "O" rings. Since I use them in compression,
I do not worry about them breaking. If one would fail, things will get
loose but nothing is going to fall apart. The trick is to confine the "O"
ring in compression so it cannot break.

I am having a bit of a difficult time understanding why you guys do not want
to run an electric fuel pump all the time. I understand it is normal
procedure in a GA plane to cut the boost pump off after attaining altitude,
but why not continue to run the electric facet pump. Their lifetime is
measured in the thousands of hours. If you are worried about it pumping too
much fuel, then buy one that has a pressure limit within parameters. Or put
a pressure regulator on it. The plane is way to noisy for you to be bothered
with the noise that they make. I have one on my plane simply because I run
the gas through a selector switch that is by the throttle, therefore below
the level that they recommend for the Rotax fuel pump. When I first put it
on I too tried cutting it off after I had taken off. In one high speed pull
out I heard the engine cough, I have never cut it off since. I personally
cannot think of a way that it would be detrimental to have one running all
the time and at about 28 bucks, I think I could even buy one each year if I
thought that it was necessary.

Matt,
Whats up! I normally use the old method of Kolb-list by receiving each email
posted to the list. If there is a attachment that I want to see, I can go to
the BB., but here lately I am not getting all the messages sent to the list. The
one that I notice the most is from John Hauck, perhaps there are others, but
I can only read John's post on the BB. I am reasonably sure that it is not my
email settings.

Ron,
Your test is very interesting, but your conclusions are way off and misguided.
The fact that Ethanol 85 reacts so much differently with oil is a huge cause
for concern. Your test seems to indicate that the Ethanol does not dissolve
oil as well as regular gasoline, which makes me wonder if 2 stroke oil will mix
well with Ethanol 85. Our 2 stroke engines and 2 stroke oil were all designed
for non Ethanol gasoline that mixed very well the oil. There may be some very
undesirable effects now that this has changed. I just cannot comprehend how
you came to such a glowing positive conclusion from the excellent tests you
did. Everyone needs to be very careful with this new fuel.

Larry,
I normally leave the electric pump on all the time. I decided to shut it off
on downwind this time as I cannot run WOT on the ground (for long) and I
wanted to cross-check my diagnosis.

I did not test for a 2 cycle motor. I tested mostly for my Suzuki motor 4
stroke, and my Automobiles. I also pointed that out in subsequent post that
I would not use E-85 in a 2 cycle motor (including my Yamaha motorcycle). I
am also guessing that most plant based oil if any for motor vehicles, will
mix well with E-85. But before I were to use any E-85 with any oil in a 2
cycle motor I would do a test. Unless there is already a recommended oil for
the Ethanol based fuels. What I would do is use a glass jar fill it half
with 2 cycle oil and half with E-85 and then shake it till it is well mixed.
Then I'd let it sit over night and see if it separates. I use half so as to
see a more striking separation between the fluids if any.
Again my test was for a 4 stroke and my conclusion was for a 4 stroke motor,
not for a two cycle motor.
