The wear mark is correct from the previous instal.

if it's not aligned correctly now and I start the motor I assume that it will leave a mark on the side of the flange. Is the is there a way to bench test a bad fuel pump visually or otherwise?

rv9a training

I would recommend taking your transition training the week before you intend to fly your plane. I used Dan Ross in Reno. He does a great job.

How short is too short?

I am installing my side skirts on a slider canopy. The skirt overhangs the fuse by 1/4". Should I cut new skirts with more overhang?

Mogas

I ordered an ECI OX-340S. One of the reasons that I chose this engine is that it comes with 8.3-1 compression ratio. The guys at ECI said that Mogas work just fine in this engine.
