The standard Van's fuel valve does have a 3rd position that could be used for the
aux tank. We have done this with a ferry tank in the past, which was also a
20 gallon bladder in the baggage compartment in a box.

Just wondering.

I remember seeing a post a year or two ago about someone that was producing aftermarket
main gear wheel pants. Does anybody know anything about this? I don't
know if it was on this forum or VAF. [Question]

Rene=0A-=0AI had a medical issue 3 yrs ago that was going to put my medic
al in the "FAA limbo basket." I found that the EAA had Medical avocates to
help with such a situation. I found one in Utah that with-one phone call
to the regional flight surgeon got everything straightend out. He was very
responsive and knew exactly how to correct things and get my medical issued
immeadiatly. This man is also an AME and you may be interested to know tha
t he lives and practices in the BMC area. If I lived closer I would use him

I have the James wheel pants on my 10. They were harder to fit than the
Van's pants. They are not as wide as the Van's pants but I don't yet have
any performance data.

No, the pants I remember seeing were not the James pants. Someone was
making them with an eye to offering them as a replacement for the
stock pants. They looked like they would have really nice fit and
finish with far less work than the originals. Mine are beginning to
show some wear and tear, and since I have never been very happy with
the way mine turned out, I was just wondering if there was another
option out there, or if I had been dreaming again!

You may be thinking of a product from Airflow Technology which they
describe as "Low Profile Pressure Recovery Wheel Pants". I have a flier
from them in my files but don't remember where I got it. The flier
lists the main gear pants including gear leg fairings for $390 each and
the nosewheel pant at $275. Surprisingly I don't see a URL but they
list the phone number 831-771-0438. If interested, I would try to find
them on the web first by searching for them by company name tolearn a
little more about them.

Airflow Technology is Alan Bickle. He built a beautiful -10 with a James cowl (I
think) and then modified the inlets about 1.5" for greater airflow in the upper
deck. His fiberglass work (pants, cowl, plenum) on the 10 looks amazing from
the photos I have seen.
Info below was copied from a Matronics posting the middle of last year.
