The down side is landing after a great flight to be met by an "FAA - we here
to help" who never flew anything faster that a helicopter, to be told the
takeoff and closed patterns, were acrobat maneuvers.
Luckily, he just gave me a warning.
Fly safe out there, Have a Great New Year, every flight should put have you
looking at the dirt through the top of the canopy. :-)

I seem to be one of the very few on the RV or Rocket list that get fuel
fumes during turbulence or acro with tanks over half full. I have the
vent lines run up and back down per vans plans and exiting from the
floor in the footwell box area. I'm considering the Andair check valves
with bleeds. Anyone tried this?
I also plan to try some plastic tubing to temporarily relocate the
outlets to see what's up. I get lots of air in the flap actuator link
holes so I assume that is where the fuel slopped overboard is getting
into the cockpit. Possibly moving these way aft would help, but you
never really know which way the air is really going in any given spot.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Mine does as well, but only when the tanks are quite full.
