Mike Nellis posted some good pictures of what the overlap looks like
once the trimming is done. I think I trimmed both top and bottom but
there is really no need to trim the bottom. The skin is trimmed on the
top mainly for cosmetic reasons.

Thanks to all who cleared this up for me. In looking deeper I found that
the 'SK 46' drawing I got with the wing kit contradicts the same sketch that
was in my set of preview plans. The moral of the story- look at both sets
of sketches when in doubt. Lesson learned!

Gascolators don't have to be mounted forward of the firewall... I'n fact many claim
that this is unsafe (including me) -especially when they are mounted low
and could impact the ground in a crash or nose-over. Having firesleeved hoses
up there is one thing, and there's no way around it -but why put a little container
of fuel up there when you don't have to? There is also more heat ahead of
the firewall, which makes the gascolator in such mounting locations a sort of
fuel heater -unless there's a blast tube directed at it. Some manufacturers
mount them in the belly... I'm thinking for the moment of Piper Commanches and
Twin Commanches... and my RV-4 (where it's mounted in the area adjacent to the
fuel selector and has a drain out the belly via a short hose and flush drain
-actually it hangs right from the fuel selector).
At any rate what you have is a fuel filter essentially -but one with a bowl that
will catch water and other heavy stuff and hold it for future draining from
the system -a good idea if you ask me.... -but not to hang down low from the
firewall.
Common sense says that it should be mounted at the lowest possible point in the
system so that all the water and other heavies end up in it and not trapped in
a low point at some hose or line (read the posts on freezing fuel lines).
My fuel lines slope up evenly to the selector from the tanks and any water should
settle to either the tank sump or the gascolator. Ahead of the gascolator the
lines slope up to the engine with no low points along the way -which is helped
even more by on the ground when the plane is sitting on it's tail. I put a
lot of thought into it when I designed the install and I've never had a problem.
I'm confident all the water in my fuel system -if there ever is any... is
in one of three sumps...
My 2 American cents worth...

Hi Todd,
Have you done any sort of detailed testing to see what the actual
differences are between the PSS AOA and the Dynon? I would be
interested in seeing what indicated differences there are during stall
at more than 1G, of if the Dynon will show changes in AOA during gusty
conditions.

And also what about flaps-up flaps-down differences? The PSS units have a
switch that takes that provides that info the the brain, and you do a
calibration with and without flaps.

Does anyone have any pictures of the conversion to Van's electric flaps on
an RV4? Torn rotor cuff and getting wider makes this sound like something I
would like to do. Any others with comments to this conversion would be
appreciated.

For those with far more experience out there ...
Question: What are the Lycoming/Air Flow Performance fuel injection
requirements?
What are the GPH flow requirements
What is the pressure output requirement for a FI pump?
There are many Holley pumps on eBay disclaiming their use with fuel
injection ...
There are a few Weldon pumps as well, some costing nearly as much as AFP ...
Is there a cost effective and safe way to provide needed fuel supply using
AFP throttle body?
Trying to put together a shopping list ...
Thanks

Pat look in the archives. You will see a lot of dicuthion on this issue.
Personaly I love my electric flaps and have had no problem with them but
you will find that some have a different oppinion.

I converted from electric flaps back to manual. But my shoulder works OK so going
to manual wasn't an issue. I liked my electric flaps but I had problems with
the motors. The first motor stopped working. They told me to clean the motor
which I tried and destroyed. My fault. I bought a new motor and installed
it. It worked fine for about a month and then it started smoking! Last thing
I want under my but is a hot motor. That was the last straw. I ripped it
all out and went manual.
That being said there are quite a few RV-4's flying with no problems with their
flap motors. That's just my experience.

Lycoming specifies a minimum boost pump pressure of 14
psi at max fuel flow, and a maximum of 35 psi for the
boost pump. The boost pump for an IO-360 should be
capable of at least 18-20 GPM for an IO-360.
One thing to keep in mind about the Airflow
performance pump package, as purchased from Van's: It
includes the fuel pump, bypass check valve, and
pressure relief valve, all assembled together. It
also includes a fuel filter, and mounting hardware for
the pump and filter. Keep in mind that you will need
all of these items for other pump setups. In my
opinion, all of these items make the Van's airflow
performance pump package not such a bad deal after
all, and you know that it will work.

I would not even think of looking at a pump that puts out less than 25 GPH
minimum. By the way, I have also looked in this direction and stayed with
the AFP pump assy.

I think Skylor might have meant 18-20 "GPH" (vs "GPM") in message below.
1200 gallons per hour might be a bit much. {:-)

No problem, Skylor.

Jerry: The Airflow Performance high pressure fuel pump for Lycoming fuel
injected engines is priced at $375 in Van's 2004 catalog. The certified
Weldon high pressure pump for those engines is $595 in the 2003-2004
Aircraft Spruce catalog, page 235. I have the Weldon pump in my RV-4 becaue
it is more compact and it fit more easily. I had purchased the Airflow
Performance pump but returned it because of the space requirements for
installation. I am using two Airflow Performance filters, one for each
tank, before the fuel selector. A friend has shoe-horned the Airflow
Performance pump into his RV-4 so it can be done. The only advantage to the
Weldon pump that I am aware of is the compact size. Many in our chapter
have used the Airflow Performance pump, and as far as I know they have all
been satisfied. Since you are building a 7A, I see no reason not to use the
Airflow Performance pump and save yourself the $220 price differential.
These pumps have parts that wear out, so anything you buy used on e-bay may
need to be rebuilt. Rion Bourgeois

Hello Clark,
I have made the changes to the scholarship app. per your request and will
plan to send out the final version to Greg and the local high Schools ASAP.
Do you want to see a final draft before I do? The only changes were to
rewrite the paragraph as you suggested and to drop the 1 scholarship per
student rule.
Dave.

Before my first flight, I tested my AFP pump, by pumping into a 5 gallon
bucket, from left and right tanks. The average was 53 GPH.
