Hi Marcus
Tanks for your feedback I guess you are right it will make pulling the belt tight
easier.
Thanks

Ok the right right muffler is mounted an it worked out perfectly.
However the left one doesn't work at all because the metal muffler bracing either
is not wide enough when bent to achieve the necessary height to keep the exhaust
pipe up. Or it interferes with the heating duct.
Not sure if I am the only one with this issue and what is wrong.
Any ideas anyone.
Regards
Mike

| Subject: | Re: Tank Vent/Newton Fuel Caps |
We have the Newton caps. We fill up after every flight but we leave each tank down
by 2 gallons. We do this so it doesn't vent out the normal vents onto the
floor. There isn't much expansion room in these tanks.
I've heard of fuel coming out the key hole but if it happens to us it's very rare.
I very much doubt you would loose a meaningful amount of fuel. I've never
seen any water get in.

design defect, except that it does not seem to be a problem on other types of
aircraft. (that I know of)

Yep - same problem with my left side.
I ended up cutting the lower hanger bolt (the one on the end of the cable) and
snugging up the brackets such that I had the shortest overall length between the
bent hanger and the exhaust attach point. Cutting the lower bolt is needed
as the end hits the exhaust attach point long before you run out of threads.
I also mounted the bent hanger as high as possible. Combined these solved the
problem.

| Subject: | Re: Tank Vent/Newton Fuel Caps |
Leaving the tank down enough to keep the fuel from contacting the bottom of the
caps does work, but I would really like to be able to get the tanks close to
full when leaving on a long cross country.
I agree that the amount of fuel vented is not significant, but it makes a mess
on the wing with the blue dye. Full tanks will definitely lose fuel through the
vent tubes as fuel expands with rising temperatures. I've seen that happen on
many different airplanes.
I may try modifying my vent tubes with a couple of coils, like my tip tank vent
tubes. I can't see why that should make a difference, but I guess it is worth
a try.

So you are going to switch to this and need to dispose of your
Lycasaurus to fund this. Of course W&B and fuel capacity will need
some minor adjustments.

Not for me thanks. Just thought it was interesting. The 210k cost difference,
fuel burn difference, insurance difference, etc, just doesn't add up to me.
Not that anything in aviation makes sense, but if gotta have a turbine, you can
buy an MU-2 for the cost of that motor.
