Regarding the 90 degree fitting; the 90degree fitting shown on your old hose is the "full flow" type according to Don@Airflow, and that's okay. The fitting you want to avoid is the 90 degree fitting where there is no curve. That type of fitting will impede the free flow of fuel. (I'm just repeating what Don told our class a few weeks ago).

I used a mounting bracket fabbed out of alu similar to: http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%20FF4%20Fuel%20System/slides/DSC04980.html. I ordered 2 new hoses to replace this: http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%20FF4%20Fuel%20System/slides/DSC04978.html. The hose the connects the servo and the flow scan has a right angle fitting where it connects to the floscan. There is a caution some where about avoiding that, but the configuration works flawlessly with no fluctuations. On Sun, Mar 30, 2014 at 9:34 AM, Bill Watson > wrote: > Thanks! It looks like the transducer is 'unmounted' in this case and just supported by the fuel hoses. I'm thinking of doing the same. Anyone with experience using a fuel hose supported Flowscan?

Any links or pics appreciated. Background: I've decided to change the location of my fuel flow unit from the tunnel to between the fuel controller and the spider. I've seen a few pictures of other installations but I know I've seen some I can't find at the moment. I've gotten quite comfortable with the tunnel installation. There's no doubt that it's a bit inaccurate with the boost pump on but that's not really a problem. However, the folks at Airflow pointed out 2 other issues that I'm in fact experiencing: 1) Fuel flow readings fluctuate a bit, as recorded by my GRT system. It's only plus/minus .2GPH but it limits the accuracy of my nozzle tuning efforts. I'm tuned up pretty good right now but I'd like to improve it a bit more. 2) During full power climbs my fuel pressure drops a bit below where it should and that causes me to turn on my boost pump for short periods of time midway up during my climb outs. I can't recite the exact reasons for that as described by Don Rivera at Airflow, but it's related to the restriction of flow sensor and it's location between the tank and the engine driven fuel pump. As I understand it, it's best to have as few restrictions as possible upstream of the fuel pump. And having inadequate fuel pressure during full power operations is undesirable.

I'm about to install the brake lines that run from the calipers, up the gear legs to the bottom of the fuse. Looking at the AN822-4D caliper fitting, it appears it will face forward, and the line will run up the leg on the forward side? Any other options? Second question, what did you use to secure the brake line to the gear leg? The lines do have the anti-chafe covering. I was thinking self fusing tape? Thx, Rick #40956 Southampton, Ont ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:54:26 PM PST US From: "Rene Felker" Subject: RE: RV10-List: Bonaco brake lines I used friction tape. I think it was called out in the plans. I first used plans built hard lines but changed to the Bonaco lines after I developed a leak in one of the hard lines.

I used fusion tape around the legs for anti-chafe, then zip ties to attach the flex lines. Dave Saylor 831-750-0284 CL On Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 1:53 PM, Rene Felker wrote: > I used friction tape.

That makes easy work of getting things in and out of what would otherwise be pretty awful locations. You just gotta make sure you have a workable service loop in the wiring/plumbing/etc., and access to the hinge pins.
