    From: "jetjockey" <jetjockey@alumni.utexas.net>
    I had this problem crop up intermittently several times over the last 10 or so years. I could never isolate the cause nor find any common condition that could have been causing the surging, other than it seemed to happen more often than not on warmer days or when I had the gills fully closed. I finally installed fire sleeve on my fuel lines and the problem has never recurred. My theory is that the fuel was vaporizing in the line from the filter to the fuel pump since turning on my electric boost pump always made the surging go away immediately. Fire sleeving the engine hoses isn't a bad idea regardless... Ray Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=370610#370610

    Don't need a LowAT card in an activated and approved Acro Box Doc. And you're correct .... having an approved and activated box makes everything alright. However, we need to discuss the obvious safety ramifications of people that actually do this kind of thing, what risks they are taking, and how we can better communicate to them their responsibilities to the rest of the Experimental Exhibition Community. -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Roger Kemp MD Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 7:32 Subject: RE: Yak-List: <viperdoc@mindspring.com> Of course possessing a LowAt card and having activated the Acro Box makes everything alright ....
