| Subject: | Flap actuator tube seals |
My YAK like most others is missing the seals under the rear seat
where the flap actuator push pull tube goes out into the wing. Does
anyone have a suggestion of a design and material that works well for a
replacement. I'm trying to make the back seat a little less drafty for
my GIB and maybe keep out a little CO in the process.

| Subject: | Re: Flap actuator tube seals |
Although not as perfect as the original covers, I cut a piece of leather
to fit over the flap rod hole opening and cut a "spoke" type pattern in
the leather that has a vertical cut in it so as to be able to slide the
leather over the flap rod and place it against the inside of the
fuselage. Affix the leather to the inside of the fuselage with contact
cement. It will keep a lot of the drafty air from freezing the ankles
off your GIB.

| Subject: | Fuel tank venting problems |
I am seeking information and advice with regard to fuel leaking out of the
in board Vent from the starboard tank. I fly an 18T with extended wing
tanks. The problem is exclusively the left wing. As ambient temperature
increases, pressure develops within the left wing, this results in a trickle
of fuel coming out of the left in board vent, under the fuselage immediately
inside the wing root. This is immediately stopped by opening the fuel cap
of the outboard tank with an audible release of pressure. All ground checks
show that all three air vents into the left-hand side are patent, with air
flowing into them easily. There is never a problem with fuel starvation,
the tanks drain reasonably symmetrically in-flight provided I am straight
and level! With the tanks completely full (180 L in the two in board wing
tanks and a further 70 L in each of the outboard wing tank), I can trigger
the mechanism of fuel coming out of the in board left-hand vent, by doing a
fuel drain through the central common feeder tank. I assume that this is
beginning a siphon. On one occasion overtime approximately 1 week this
resulted in the complete depletion of every drop of fuel in the right pair
of fuel tanks. I assume a game that had this was a siphon set up, of
unusual nature. My LAME has been over the aircraft, and cannot find a fuel
blockage or drain problem anywhere. Has anyone seen this pattern before or
have any advice before I open every single screw and panel and pull apart
the fuel tanks?

Stewart,
In your first sentence you refer to the inboard vent from the starboard
tank. Then in the 3rd sentence your refer to the problem as exclusively
from the left tank. If you'll contact me off list, I may be able to
give you some guidance on troubleshooting the vent system because I have
seen a very similar problem on the 52.

I just finished the install of the rudder pedal mod by Barry and test flew. What
a difference! Although I had to drill out the 6mm hole to 1/4" at the pivot
point and move an airline on the left side. Folks sharing pilot duties with a
"Short Round" (USMC jargon for vertically challenged individuals) may have to
chamfer the front inside corner with 1/4" radius to get more forward travel.
