The test period has been going very well with a=0A few minor issues such as a =93heavy wing=94. Following Van=92s procedures it now flies hands=0A off. One issue that has not been=0A resolved is a very slight fuel odor shortly after liftoff=2C climbing throu gh=0A about 500 feet. I also occasionally get=0A a whiff of fuel when in a nose high attitude or with the addition of climb power. =0A I have the standard Van engine/prop combination=2C XIO-360-M1B=2C with a Pr ecision=0A Airrmotive (Bendix) Model EX-5VA1 fuel=0A injector=2C AKA Silver Hawk..=0A =0A =0A =0A I have=0A checked all the connections and have found no leaks. The vent system allow s air to flow out of the=0A tanks with no blockage. When the tanks=0A are full=2C a small amount of fuel sometimes drips out of the right vent. I suspect the issue is related to the fuel=0A tank vent or fuel return system. =0A =0A =0A =0A Any=0A comments or suggestions would be appreciated Tom VH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv7-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV7-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv7-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv7-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
