Makes sense

Based on that, I would run the vent from there as long as the float doesn't interfere with it. I would joggle it in the first bay if possible and set up a straight run to the end. IIR, a retainer...

1 piece here

Larry,

Snap Soc

I start at about 55-60 psi and go up as the rivets get longer. Try a higher pressure, should help a bit. I don't think either of those rivets need to replaced unless its for cosmetic...

You mentioned it so you might have it covered. I am planning on using camlocks on the horizontal section of the lower cowl. Before final install of the engine mount I fab'd up 2 aluminum...

Depends on placement

Hi Jim,

I assume you have the FT-60 model of the Red Cube. This is the unit I have on a Superior I0-360. It has a 1/4 inch NPT.

You will need an AN-816 (NPT to flared) fitting. If you want to...

Brad,

I had a similar result. While bending the longerons everything was spot on. As I recall, the displacement I had after rolling the canoe was about what you are seeing. The pressure I had to...

Not much to it

Matt,

Its been a few years but there wasn't anything special about the drilling both skins and the wedge.

Not good!

Hi Larry,

That should be right, same as any flared AN fitting. It's hard to see in the video but the female end on the fuel valve doesn't appear to be flared. Looks flat, though it may be an...

That is what I used

I believe you are referring to the 3 holes that attach it to the top of the F-766. Funny, I couldn't find where it referenced a size either (DWG 33) but I went out and looked at mine, pretty sure I...

Hi Dustman,

The area you describe is required to trimmed on the 7 (think it applies to the 6 and 8 as well). The empenage...
