Subject: | No fuel pump run test |
Hi Guys,
(High Wing only)
The first fuel flow was a little flawed. The pump had been removed from the circuit
and hoses joined, but that isn't how we fly. Today I removed the entire pump
off the engine and left the hoses attached to allow fuel to flow through the
pump. I ran it on the ground and at anything over 4100 rpm it would sputter
and at 4800-4900 it was really rough. At 4000 rpm it did run and without any
issues. That does mean you could still fly to a landing spot and use throttle
to land. Once down I think your stuck.
So the news is still good, just not as good
