    Hi all, Any tips for flap and elevator hinge lubrication?I will be keeping my finished XL at a dust prone airstrip and don't like the idea of using oil or grease as a lubricant on these exposed parts. If dust settled on these parts it would act as sand paper. Does anyone think that these hinges need lubricating at all? Thanks Darryl.

    I got to see Jay plane when he visited KELD. To say the latching system is different is an understatement. I liked it and it would have several fewer failure modes. I could see the inside of the mechanism but I did like the outcome. As far as retro fitting the system, I'd really like to see plans available for it.

    Subject: Fuels
    Since the Blog is tuned in to Fueling i have a question. (or two ) has anyone had problems using auto fuel with 10% Ethanol. Florida has decried that all fuel in the state WILL have 10% Ethanol by 2009. it is impossible to purchase fuel now that does not have Ethanol. i was using Amoco White ( now BP ) to prevent the orange stains but now even it has Ethanol. the engine manual says it is permissible but i am concerned about corrosion in the aluminum tanks, deterioration of rubber hoses and internal rubber & plastics in fuel valves and pumps. While we are on the subject of fuel has any one found a way to stop spraying it out the fuel tank vents when making a sharp turn with near full tanks. on a sod runway it makes a large brown circle ( Grass Kill ) when performing a 180 on the grass. thanks Bobby 601 XL N131BP

    Subject: Re: Over filling during flight?
    Hi Raymond, You ask: How have you integrated fuel management into your emergency restart checklist? The checklist depends on the engine and the tank system. In case of complete engine failure: 1. Trim plane for best glide speed. Unless there an is unusual situation, the propeller of the Rotax 912, 912S, or 914 will stop due to the high compression ratio of the engine and the fact that the propeller is geared. For direct drive engines, the propeller likely will be windmilling. 2. Pick out a landing site. Fly toward the landing site at optimal glide speed. 3. If there is time for a restart atttempt: 3.1 (Here comes a controversial part) If this is a Rotax engine, turn off the avionics since otherwise the radios may be blown by surge voltages during the starting. (This nasty aspect of the Rotax engine is not exhibited by direct-drive engines that would be windmilling. In that case, the generator continues charging and the starter is not needed in the restart attempt, a definite plus. On the other hand, a windmilling propeller has more drag than a stopped propeller, a definite minus as far as the glide ratio is concerned. ) To prevent starting of the Rotax engine with avionics turned on, we have it set up that the starter can be activated only if the avionics are off (another controversial part). 3.2 In the case of a direct drive engine with windmilling propeller, check the oil pressure. If it is zero, the engine is cooked and it's best to focus on everything else. (The Rotax engine does not provide that clue since it will be stopped and will have zero oil pressure regardless of the condition of the engine.) 3.3 Turn on the boost pump. 3.4 601s with centertank and wing tanks: If fuel level in the main tank is low, activate and hold the transfer switches (here is a disadvantage that they are spring loaded and must be held. On the other hand, if the switches are on/off, then forgetting later that they have been turned on may overfill the center tank and create an extremely dangerous situation during an emergency landing.) 601s with two leading edge tanks: Switch tanks. 3.4 Open throttle halfway. 3.5 Crank engine. 4. If engine does not restart and there is time left: turn off fuel supply to engine, turn on avionics again if turned off before, and make emergency call on 121.5. 5. When over the emergency landing site, begin circling. When about 1000 ft AGL, go for the landing. If this is an HDS, dive for the landing area and do not try to fly an approach pattern, since likely the attempt will end short of the landing area (The message for HDS pilots to remember is "Dive for the landing"). For HD and XL, the glide ratio is better and one must make sure not to come in too high. But if this is actually an airport, then nevertheless dive for the runway and dissipate any remaining altitute by forward slip.) Here is one more thought. We take off from a familiar airport so many times that we become quite sure that this will always be successful. Next time you take off and begin the climb, you may ask yourself repeatedly, as you gain altitude, the question "If the engine quits right now, where should I land?" It may be that you will have think about this. Well, doing it now is be better that when the real thing happens. Happy flying, Klaus * * * *

    Subject: Re: Fuels
    Juan, While you might be able to do that, I'm pretty sure you would wind up an unacceptably low octane in the remaining fuel without the ethanol. I've been using STA-BIL gasoline stabilizer for gas engined home and farm equipment and it seems to be effective. Now I see Marine Formula STA-BIL ethanol treatment being advertised and recommended for all engines. I would probably be using that if I was flying with autogas which might have ethanol in it. Neither of my projects is going to be flying very soon but I intend to have them capable of using regular pump autogas. One of my biggest worries is corrosion in the thin aluminum gas tanks.

    Klaus, Thanks for the detailed reply. You bring up several things about a geared engine I had not given any thought to. I was curious where you put the pumping fuel to the header in the list. I assume you hold the switches while you are cranking the engine, or perhaps I should say I think I would. It makes sense to me now. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
