Subject: | Re: Rust in carburetor |
I have noticed, on two occasions, when checking the fuel at the gasolator the fuel
had a red tint to it. The wing sumps looked fine. This occurred after the
aircraft had sat for about three weeks. I continued to drain the gasolator
until the fuel had the normal blue tint to it. Has anyone else observed this?

Yes, after I got some gas with mud in it. Took forwver to clear it out, and
then I had trouble with the sump drain.

Thanks
This did not appear to be dirt or mud because the wing sumps continued
to stay clear and the fuel tanks would be the only place where mud/dirt
could enter the system. Also, there was no sediment as fair as I could
tell. It kind of looked like automotive gas but I have never used it
and again the wing sumps were clear. I am not sure what is causing the
color to change. The next time this happens I'll save a sample and see
what kind of residue remains after letting it evaporate.

Subject: | Wheel Balance and shimmy - an update |
I previously reported that wheel balancing didn't appear to affect my landing gear
shimmy. Well, I wasn't doing an apples to apples comparison, because I decided
to fly without the wheelpants and fairings to do a quick check.
The weight of the wheelpants would obviously affect the resonant frequency of the
gear, and that never crossed my mind.
Today I finished some mods to my wheelpants and reinstalled them and went flying.
I was surprised to find that on landing I had the slightest, barely noticeable
shimmy just before turning off the runway. I was so surprised that I taxied
back out and did another circuit. Same results.
There are other variables compared to last time (such as the 100 degree heat!)
but I am optimistic that the wheel balancing did actually address the shimmy issue
to my satisfaction. It used to be bad enough that if I was transmitting
when it happened I sounded like I was in a helicopter. Now I think a passenger
wouldn't even notice.
Good stuff.
If anyone wants to drop by the Dallas, Texas area and balance their wheels they're
more than welcome to the hanger.
