At the moment I just wish we had your system. I have just uncovered another hurdle. I have told you of the decision by our Chief Engineer that I must have a Flying Test done on my plane when it is repaired (Next week hah hah) Now I have discovered that my pilots licence may be invalid. The system here is that a pilots licence is issued for life but it has to re validated annually. Talking to another pilot at the strip I fly from he queried my revalidation. He had been in a similar position. He flies a Shadow and the entire fleet was grounded after a fault was discovered in the undercarriage. Redesigning and approving and building new undercarts took over a year and this ran perilously close to some of the pilots revalidation dates. This sent me to check on my dates. My licence was revalidated in July 05. My accident happened in July 06 and having nothing to fly I forgot the annual . Now we are at July 07 and I shall probably have to take at the very least a GFT, In the worst case I shall have to do the entire Licence again. Give me strength. Ellis Island here I come.

Mount the pump so that the pulse line side is down so any liquid will drain out away from the pump diaphragm. The diaphragm must always remain free to move with the pulse frequency to pump properly. Only a pump with a slowly leaking diaphragm will benefit from a weep hole if mounted properly.

Maybe they were for motorcycles or seedoos or something. If it has a weep hole it will be on the pulse port side. The hole should be the low spot so any fuel in there drains out sooner. For the Kitfox guy. I can't even imagine having enough fuel in the pulse line to make it all the way to the pump. I would guess a bad fuel pump or the fuel lines are leaking and the fuel runs down the side of the pump and it only looks like it is coming out the weep hole. -------- Scott Olendorf Original Firestar, Rotax 447, Powerfin prop Schenectady, NY http://KolbFirestar.googlepages.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=118200#118200 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:04:34 AM PST US From: "Richard Girard" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Another hurdle Pat, Just go to Juarez, take a right turn, and follow the crowd going across the Rio Grande. It's much easier than dealing with any government. 12 million migrants can't be wrong. Not to add to your dismay, but we have the same sort of silliness here. It's called the BFR. I won't tell you my version of the acronym, but the "F" doesn't stand for flight. But then, it might not in BFR either, since no flying may be involved in a "flight review". You can go sit in a classroom for a few hours every month and listen to an FAA official tell you how to fly safely, never do a single minute of time in the air, and voila, you've had a flight review. Should you actually go out and do some actual flying with an actual FAA licensed instructor, two of them, even, and well, that might not be good enough. Case in point, I earned my WSC endorsement while at Sun n Fun. Did the PTS manuevers, which I didn't do to get my PPL, did almost 8 hours of ground instruction and 6 hours of flying but, the Friendlies say it can't be used as a "flight" review. The reasoning is that since I was adding a new type and class, it doesn't count. I need to review my old type and class for it to count as a BFR. Never mind all the instruction or the flying, this is about putting a check mark in the box on a form designed and administered by someone who may not be able to recognize an aircraft without a picture book. Like the tee shirt says, "Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, stupidity is a close second." End of rant and here's hoping my next isn't from Guantanamo.

So if your "WSC endorsement" didn't include a formal check ride, your beef is with the instructors not the Feds. Since they gave you at least 1 hour of ground and 1 hour of flight instruction (the only hard requirements in the BFR rule), all they needed to do was include the BFR endorsement in your logbook along with the WSC one. In fact, nothing in the rules says the BFR endorsement must be written into the logbook contemporaneously. In other words, you can contact the instructor, ship him your logbook, have him add the BFR wording and ship it back to you. If he thinks you are competent for an endorsement he certainly should think you are okay for the purposes of a BFR. And just to tweak Pat a little, tiny, teeny bit: The only pilot license equivalent we have here is for us flight instructors. We have to renew every two years (95% just take a ground school). Otherwise, we have to pass an instructor flight test for *one* of our ratings to get back all of one's instructor ratings. Sport, private and commercial pilots have no such restriction. They can not fly for 10 or 20 years and then just get a valid medical (or drivers license for Sport) and take a regular minimum 1 hour ground/1 hour flight BFR. There is no such thing as "failing" a BFR (it's just logged as dual), as soon as the instructor is comfortable with the pilot's skills he can sign them off. I've done this several times for relapsees.

I flew with two instructors, one to prepare for the check ride and sign me off for it, the other to do the check ride. Both were assured by the Lakeland FSDO that because the endorsement was for a new type and class I could not operate the aircraft as pilot in command so no BFR. Once the endorsement was earned I could operate as PIC and could then take the BFR ride. Your local office may interpret the rules differently, but that's the reasoning in Florida.

The two most often found at ultralight suppliers are those pictured in the CPS article previously posted to this conversation. The third I found at a go kart shop. The oldest of my three is the one with one straight and two bent hose barbs. On this pump, the pulse port is a square brass fitting with a hose barb at 90 degrees pressed into a boss, about an 1/8th inch tall, on the back of the mounting plate. The weep hole in this style pump appears to be factory drilled. The one I bought from CPS last year is the one with all straight hose barbs. On this style, the pulse port boss is about 3/4" tall and the hose barb is pressed into the side of it. In the CPS article, Mike said they drill the weep hole on these and that appears to be correct. The third style is one I first saw on eBay this winter. I went searching online and found it at Go Kart Supply. This style has the pulse port boss cast into the front cover and the bent hose barbs are turned outward 90 degrees to the mounting surface of the pump. The weep hole is drilled in a small divot in the center of the pulse pump boss and appears to be done by the factory. My criteria for factory versus distributor drilling of the weep hole is simply whether it is centered where it's drilled. The one from CPS is drilled willy nilly, the other two have the hole centered in the fitting or the boss respectively.
