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. :-) Tom Gummo Apple Valley, CA Harmon Rocket-II do not archive http://mysite.verizon.net/t.gummo/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 5:37 PM Subject: Re: Re: Rocket-List: Rocket268 out of Ogden UT > > As Gummibears building partner & backseater I've been ask lots of times > about Tom & HRII's takeoffs.

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?
