When I test ran the engine on the gear, it ran fine. I measured the fuel rate and it was pretty high, about 10 gal/hr IIRC. However, when I measured the flow rate at a takeoff attitude (17 deg. I think), the flow rate plummeted. It wasn't even close to the minimum required, which is twice the full-throttle consumption. So, I toyed with the idea of putting in an electric fuel pump but I had already done my electrical system. Also, if you have an electric fuel pump you probably want redundancy and that just complicated the issue, so I ended up fabricating a fuel tank and putting it up in the center section. A couple of notes; your fuel system needs to be carefully designed to prevent water collecting in it. Please read about Kevin Purtee's incident with water in the fuel system. Second, if you do put the tank up in the center section, please read William Wynne's article on how to properly brace parasol-wing airplanes. If you place the fuselage tank right behind the firewall, it should work, I think a number of builders have placed it there. Hope this helps, and best of luck. John F.

Yes, I knew you`d know the casino where I can test for absolutely all irish casino slots online (https://irishcasinomaxi.com/online-casinos/new/) (slot machines) that they have presented. This is the world-famous Byk Of RA (Books) - the Book of RA, and the Crazy Monkey video slot known by many gamblers, and of course, the Pyramids. I look forward to your suggestions, I can`t wait to try my luck.
