The fuel valve screwed into the bottom of the fuel tank sump, an aluminum line ran from there to the gascolator on the back of the firewall (accessible through an access door on the side cowl), another aluminum line ran from the gascolator to a wobble pump next to the pilot's seat, and another aluminum line ran from there to a bulkhead fitting at the firewall. From there a MIL-6000 hose ran to the fuel pump on the back of the engine, and another MIL-6000 hose ran from there to the carburetor on top of the engine. Also, the prop did not lose a whole three feet of one blade, it lost a 30 inch piece of one leading edge, a few inches wide at the tip and tapering to a point at the inboard end. - -------- do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=464160#464160 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:07:57 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Please Read - This Is Safety Related And Is Very Important From: "jarheadpilot82" Well, I fear that I have created more heat than light in this thread. I am almost sorry to have even shared it. My only goal was to point out what was likely a contributing factor in the final outcome of this accident. And how it might affect all of us builders and flyers if we make similar choices. Nothing more. I sense that there are some forum members that are upset that this has been brought up before any final report. Neither I, nor the original writer, are accusing a man that was by all accounts, a great pilot and a great human being of anything other than being human. The point of the thread was to emphasize that we all need to think of our choices as we build and how they can affect us in a worst case scenario. FWIW, whether it was 3 feet of prop or only 30 inches of the leading edge, I can only imagine that the assymetrical loads of that extremely unbalanced prop made for a wild ride in that final descent. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=464163#464163 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
