    Subject: flex fuel lines and filters
    Dick, Where in the system did you put flex lines? Another question for all of you. I have seen, and really like the idea of a small transparant inline filter for each line coming out of the tank. I've seen them on the cabanes so you can easily keep track of things and replace them. I've been told though that this is frowned upon because they present more places to clog the system. This doesn't make sense to me, as if they're going to clog, they'll clog the carb screen. Also, I have three outlets from my tank, so there is plenty of redundancy even if one clogs before I can notice and replace it. I've just heard and seen so much junk in gas systems I really like a lot of filters. input please. Thanks Douwe

    Subject: Old Timers advise
    Hello group, just thinking of an old timer's comment, I heard while looking at a fellows homebuilt project years ago.- The guy had a tendency to ove rbuild, or beef things up here and there in fear of the event of a crash. - "Your supposed to build them Airworthy, Not Crashworthy".- That advis e is good and-sound I think.- Yes we all need to think of safety,- bu t the Idea was to build so that we the pilot, or occupants don't get killed ,- but don't worry what happens to the airplane,- don't add 100, 200-50 0 lbs trying to prevent something from bending or breaking in a crash.- I f it does break build another one and keep it light.- This isn't aimed at anyone on the list, just a random quote I rememberd from a wise old man. - Happy building and flying, - Shad=0A=0A=0A
