Fuel Return to Tank a la RV-14: Is there Wing Install Interference?

[MJarreau]

This thread talks about installing a fuel return line to the tank in an RV-10 following the plans of the RV-14. The thread suggests there are interference issues between the VA-141 in the -14's location and mounting of the wings. Have you followed the -14 plans? Have you also mounted your wings? Are there intereference issues?

Cheers!

I hope not! I found the -14 plans and followed them. I think several of us have done that. At the time I thought I saw that there were planes flying with that configuration. Yes the carry-through spar is larger. It may be close. No I haven’t mounted the wings yet.

Timothy,

Thanks for your thought. I'm hoping to install the wings early fall. I'll try to remember (wish me luck!) to update this thread.

Cheers!

Per plans and no interference issues. 700 hrs+.

Since the 10 and 14 tank end rib is the same, that port location is fine. LOTS of SDS/EFii installs with no issues.
