I want to advance this warning in case there are others with similar installation: I just glanced at the pic of construction of Pauls aircraft. Looks like he had his fuel pumps mid firewall. This is not good. You need fuel pumps as low on firewall as possible. This maximizes head pressure on fuel pump inlet. Or putting it another way, it reduces your risk of vapor lock due to inlet pressure drop. In addition, you want one fuel pump with no inlet filtering, no fuel metering device. Both which increase pressure drop at inlet. And most important, you want to measure the inlet pressure before doing any flying. This will provide a number you can use to actually measure your risk of vapor lock. Better yet, place fuel pump inside fuel tank, then you have zero risk of vapor lock. So I'm not saying this is the cause of his crash. I'm just warning others of a substantial risk issue and how easy it is to overlook contributing factors. I just hope fuel exhaustion was not a cause, it would bother me a great deal. It already bothers me a great deal. He seemed like a great guy. -al wick Artificial intelligence in cockpit, Cozy IV powered by stock Subaru 2.5 N9032U 200+ hours on engine/airframe from Portland, Oregon Prop construct, Subaru install, Risk assessment, Glass panel design info: http://www.maddyhome.com/canardpages/pages/alwick/index.html On Tue, 17 May 2005 10:14:19 -1000 "Marc Lefebvre" writes: > Another website with picture of Paul. > > RIP > > http://www.abri.com/sq2000/builderpc.html > ______________________________________________________________ Cozy_builders mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/cozy_builders Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:Cozy_builders@mailman.qth.net ------=OPENWEBMAIL_ATT_0.180903425905854--
