What aerobatics could i do if i do not install aerobatic oil fuel and prop on my 8a? i am looking for a list to see how much fun i will be missing if i build it cheaper. what props is everyone using on the io-390?
so no flop tubes either?
you'll still have guaranteed fun!! just no upside down..
Anything except extended inverted flight.
Its not the sustained or extended inverted or right side up.
Its the G.
An engine can be fuel and oil starved right side up, and can have plenty of oil and fuel inverted with fixed pickups and sump.
Its the G.
how much cost is involved in properly equiping a plane with the needed flop tubes, inverted oil, etc? This is something I will definately want, just curious on cost difference... Also, I just ordered my wing kit... but do not recal seeing anything about fuel pickups... is this something you decide later and buy extra? rather it be stock from vans or aftermarket?
Fly4fun,
I installed a christen kit for a friend and like you thought the hose kit was overpriced. That is a substantial savings for hoses from Summit. What I would like to add is the christen hose kit includes firesleeve for all the hoses. From your photos, adding firesleeve would give me better piece of mind. Does Summit carry firesleeve? Maybe substantial savings there to.
