RE: Rocket Style Fuel Tank Vent

I’ve been using the rocket vent since first flight 315 hours ago. The right tank vents a little when completely full. Otherwise no issues.

RE: Rear Seat CT81F install
…ryoung
Here is my install. I used an aftermarket quadrant along with Van’s kit. My advice is go slow when cutting clearance holes for connecting rod. Remove a little at a time, check clearance and repeat. The nut plate mounting holes in aft (left) frame member of the photo should not go in the frame member but in the quadrant mounting plate instead. I have a QB fuselage so those holes were already there.

Almost a year ago, I visited the Van’s factory with Charlie (the dog) and the friendly office staff there watched him while I did the tour. Today he’s a RV pilot.

Always worth looking around under the hood…
My hangar neighbor spotted this while I had my -9A’s cowling off. A primer line had snapped! The break was in the middle of some coils fashioned for strain relief. No idea how many times I’ve sprayed fuel under the cowling before starting…. Luckily I never need to prime before a hot start.

Rocket style fuel tank vent
I decided to vent the fuel tanks rocket style instead of re-entry into the fuselage. The one thing I didn’t want to do was to put the exit in the wing root fairing so I went thru the wing spar and exited out the bottom skin. I also added a tiny hole on top of the line just before it exits in...

811 - longeron junction,
I have searched the plans and I’m sure I missed the instructions, or did I ? The junction where the Lingeron intersects 811, it appears it requires a bypass cut, either in the longeron or the stab attach bar. I’m thinking the Stab bar integrity is more important here, and the bypass slot...

Switch source
Anybody familiar with the attached switch photo? I've looked in the usual places and can't find it. I'm wanting to replace the landing light switch with a DPDT switch that looks the same (wig wag install).
