Can anyone recommend a hose and fitting combo that they are happy with
for use with the main fuel lines, inverted oil system plumbing, and oil
cooler plumbing?
I am looking at the Aeroquip AQP hose from Summit racing. It appears to
be their best hose and it takes some nice looking all aluminum reusable
fittings.
Do you think going with reusable ends is the way to go. I figure I will
measure and cut each hose to length on site rather than trying to
measure and have someone else use crimp on ends.
Thanks,
Jim

I've had Precision Hose Technology (PHT) make my fuel and oil hoses for me.
Good stuff, good prices, good people. They deal with Stratoflex.
Stratoflex, Aeroquip, it's all the same to me.
Here's the link: http://www.aircrafthose.com
Best of luck,

Jim,
I used Aeroquip's integral fire sleeve hose. Take a look at the attached
photo. I had Varga Enterprises make my hoses. They were very responsive,
with good customer service.
http://www.vargaair.com/
Word of warning, the integral fire sleeve stuff is stiffer and, because of
the large double covers over the ends of the hose, short hoses are almost
completely inflexible. I wasted several hoses because they were too short
and would not flex. Otherwise, it is good stuff. more expensive but not
really when you take into account the cost of adding fire sleeve tubes over
all of your standard braided hoses. I just wish it came in a nicer
color. Chocolate brown was never on my short list.

Using the web link below, select the hose model number 124J on the left
hand list of hose types. That is the integral fire sleeve hose that I used
and described in my previous e-mail.

Okay Guys & Gals,
I just had my first aerobatic "lesson" from Wayne Handley in his Extra 300L. I've seen him fly many times before, but never had the honor/opportunity to get one-on-one instruction from him. Wayne is a GREAT instructor. And I apparently don't have too many engrained bad habits. If you're interested go to www.waynehandley.com he's reasonably priced (for his experience, skill & knowledge level) if you're located somewhere close to central California. God that 300L flys nice, good acceleration, quick roll-rate, and overall very responsive! It has all the amenities of a Lexus; and I thought I liked Rockets a lot. It kinda' feels like I've been cheating on my best gal (my RV-4); but Hell I've gotten over "that feeling" before.
Well what can I say... Wayne says I got "okay" rolls, "almost perfect" loops
(he showed me how to make 'em watermelons or elliptical, or just about any
shape), good half-cubans, good stalls/spins, lousy knife edges, as well as so/so
immelmans & split "S"es. Next time we're gonna work on hammerheads, inverted
flat spins, out side loops, and some other harder negative G stuff like that...
maybe even a "Lumpy Chek" if I can get through/learn real snap rolls.
This time, during our lunch break, we went for Mexican. I had a large burrito
that later kept causing me to burp after anything around 4 G's (thank goodness
I was flyin' back seat with the eyeball vents opened & the heat on).
Okay, now I can no longer brag that "I'm completely self taught" when it comes
to aerobatics; but I can say I'm still learning, I'm getting better, and my
maneuvers are crisper/cleaner. I HIGHLY recommend Wayne Handley and can say
(now from experience) that although being self-taught is cheap and not necessarily
bad per se... it's definitely not the best way to go. Having someone
who KNOWS their stuff (as Wayne certainly does) accelerates the learning curve
and virtually eliminates the adrenaline caused by the fear factor (but there's
still enough adrenaline pumping so you can still get your fix). Take care
& Take air my friends,
Chuck
