[b:fa823cf774]Ron,
Thanks for the input. Regarding your questions, please see below:[/b:fa823cf774]
Did you install a down detent spring for latch?
[b:fa823cf774]No, but plan to install a pin that will go into the console that
will do same with no spring to wear out.[/b:fa823cf774]
Did you verify that LG08s are in fact overcenter at least 1/32"? (don't
want much more than 1/16")
[b:fa823cf774]I have the gear off right now but will verify this on reinstall.
[/b:fa823cf774]
Did you peen over the 4 screws for Andair 375 gasculator? There are 4
dimples under the flat heads of the screws meant for center punching to
hold them in place?
[b:fa823cf774]Had no idea of this as it's not mentioned anywhere in the Andair
literature. I'll have a look and see if I can figure out what it is you're
suggesting.[/b:fa823cf774]
Did you take a look at the beautiful stainless drains offered by Andair
for their gasculators? (Especial for the gasculator)
[b:fa823cf774]Yes, but the ones I have are standard here in US and were already
owned. [/b:fa823cf774]
Looking at your fuel system, you may as well get rid of Andair 375 as
things are now, it is nothing more than a single point to catch all debris
that can pass right through Europa filters!
[b:fa823cf774]This didn't occur to me, but you're right. I'm going to place the
375 after the pumps as I've seen others do.[/b:fa823cf774]
Did you clean the filters in your fuel pump after a few hours of running?
[b:fa823cf774]Haven't run it yet but will clean before first
flight.[/b:fa823cf774]
I don't have full knowledge of the Teflon lined hose you speak of, but I
would be very careful using automotive Teflon lined hose in an aeroplane.
[b:fa823cf774]This was suggested on EAA's site. It's R9 Gates
hose.[/b:fa823cf774]
Picture 113 in your fuel system has too tight of a bend radius, it is
collapsing hose. No good.
[b:fa823cf774]This is a photo of the installation of the clamp. If you look
close,
there's a wood block in the left of the photo that's causing the crimp. The
hose acted as a spring to hold the block in place which, in turn, held the clamp
until the redux dried. With the block out of there, the radius is
ok.[/b:fa823cf774]
Just my opinion, only intention is in bettering aircraft, and learn if I
am off track. Please don't take as an attack.
[b:fa823cf774]I appreciate the feed-back, no problem[/b:fa823cf774]
[b:fa823cf774]Thanks again,
Dan[/b:fa823cf774]
