And remember, on the CJ, the fact the fuel sump is 1 foot closer to the left tank
than the right and it's WELL to the left of the centerline of the aircraft
doesn't have anything whatever to do with it [Rolling Eyes]

Not if the aircraft is flying coordinated. In that case the "head" is the
same for both tanks regardless of where the header tank is positioned
laterally (left or right of the center-line). That also determines static
fuel pressure. Given the same resistance to flow from both wings to the
header tank, the means that, for the same head, you will have the same
flow.
But even a small change in the coordination of the aircraft will then have
an effect on the flow from the tanks because the head for each fuel tank
will be different. This is why it is so important to make sure that you
level your airplane and then precisely adjust the balls to be in the
center.
FWIW, 100% of the airplanes I have checked have had their balls not
centered when the aircraft was leveled. (In most, the instruments didn't
even agree with each other, let alone indicate level.) And it is so easy to
do that I don't understand why people don't do it. When the aircraft is on
jacks for a gear-swing, lay a bubble level across the canopy rails. Adjust
the jacks until the aircraft is level according to the bubble level. climb
into the cockpits, loosen the screws on the AI and needle/ball, and rotate
them until the balls are in the center. Retighten the screws. Done.
Now you can believe your balls when they tell you that you are not
coordinated.

| Subject: | M14-P Prop blades |
I notice that Yakdrive is looking for a set of prop blades for his 18T (?)
Alex from GT Propellers has a set of 2.5 Diam GT Blades for sale in the US.
I fitted a set of GT blades to my Yak 18T and the increase in performance
was immediately obvious.
Shorter take off distance, better climb and hence a better cruise speed at
the same power settings as with the original V-350 prop.
Alex can be contacted at info@gt-propellers.com
Cheers,
Chris.

Wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom (or, even better, some photos e
tc) that would help me install a new trim cable.- Mine snapped over the w
eekend and unspooled off both wheels.- Not sure if the tail spool is stil
l intact but the lack of tension leads me to think it is not.- I saw some
talk about replacing with electric servos but, I prefer to use the cable s
ystem.
