And I had the experience of landing with no flaps! I was going to go around, but I had way to much runway in front of me.

Full flaps...

Runway 09 is always bumpy. And that's what she said!

This was so long ago, and there were so many problems. I had a mag coil HV lead shorting to ground, always had hard starting till I replaced everything (ignition wise) and finally a new starter did the trick... till it got cold. I just installed the Rotec electronic ignition and it started up right away in 40 degree weather. Day before, I had to warm the CHT's to 90 degrees before it would start.

I'd love to get video of the three of us airborne at the same time!

Yeah, I get that. I had my 360 set to starlight or whatever where it takes photos at a very slow rate. There is no way to slow it down in the 360 program if it was taken like this. I've since learned and have set it back to normal video!

Can you not read? Description of video explains I did figure it out and have another video, what a waste of time to reply to you.

What? Just both wing tank fuel quantity readings were bad, aileron trim switch wired backwards, RPM indication all over the gauge, Choke broken, not adjusted properly, Carb heat not adjusted properly, Pitot hose loosely held on with heat shrink under fuel tubing, AOA tubing fell off, Regulator fried and popping C/B, and of course now I have the engine issues and the Strobe light C/B popping! And I had to swap pitot probes, the newer Dynon one seems to not read as accurately as the old tube style, and of course because of that, I have to figure out how to get a 1/8" NPT to go to a 1/4" PTFE tubing and re tube the whole aircraft cause it has 6mm tubing and NO WHERE can I find a 6mm to 6mm PTFE hose straight through fitting with sleeves. (or without). Plus EVERY day I have off is 25 degrees and hurricane winds. What?

I usually don't charge for close to a week, so I wanted to see how it'd react to going really low. It's a nice sunny day, so the car has been charging on solar since the sun came up. I love free!

Now I need a back-up horn, reverse lights. Maybe if the FAA doesn't find out...

Lighter than most gas vehicles too, so easier than pushing a gas car to a gas station.

You wouldn't believe the amount of testing I went through with those tanks! I bought the aircraft knowing the fuel quantity was faulty. One tank read 0 all the time, the other read 6 gallons all the time. I replaced the fuel sensors, then to calibrate it, I drained the tanks and added one gallon at a time till full and measured the gas level at the filler cap (when it got up that high). I did get 16 gallons in, but they are really 15 gallon tanks. When this venting happened, I was at 11.5 gallons on each tank, way below full. The fuel vent is the part that kills me, its a tube I'm guessing around 1/2" in diameter! Why would you ever need a vent that large? And it is about 1/4" from the highest level of the tank. So as far as fuel level and vent goes, I believe it's just too large a vent tube. Maybe could use a baffle! Actually, that's not a bad idea...

If it’s anything like one of the planes I fly, it is returning fuel to the left tank that isn’t being used by the engine. Usually happens when the boost pump is on. If both tanks are full fuel from the right wing returns to the left wing and then over flows. I’m sure there would be a note in the POH to say start on left tank if both tanks are full.

OAT about 30 F, about the same when filled to 12 gallons, they don't tell me the temp of the fuel, but the hose was cold! The fuel had been sitting in the aircraft for a few days before these flights. Could not see the right wing, but I'm really interested to see that side. Vented gas caps don't seem like a reality, so I'm going to stick something in the vent line to decrease the size. I mean sure, be a vent, but I don't need a 1/2" vent (its probably 3/8")

Nope, it only had 11.5 to 12 gallons in a 16 capacity tank.

@@F111BMATHIS something is up with it then. I wouldn't fly it until you figure it out.

Nope, it only had 11.5 to 12 gallons in a 16 capacity tank.

I like that idea!

The camera is looking to the left!

I'm not sure who's fault it is. The original owner/builder died in another aircraft, it was going to his Grandson, but the kid didn't want to fly, so it was sold. The guy I got it from didn't seem to involved with fixing things. I think he may have not even known or cared. I knew about the fuel indication problems, I told him I'd fix it and I did. But the Aileron trim being backwards (10 minute fix) the RPM indication jumping all over the place (3K ohm resistor) the alternator C/B popping (New regulator), the compass not able to calibrate - unreliable (remounted in rear of baggage area), the choke cable jamming up unable to use (re-routed cable) the cabin heat cable broke so its full on cooking my CFI (again re-routed and secured cable), Airspeed all over the place, unreliable ( tubes loosely placed with fuel tubing, repaired with compression fittings), and now I've found the pitch cable rubbing on a rear bulkhead and the aileron cables! Oh and had to re-route electrical so it wasn't caught up on the pitch tube, and the landing and taxi lights cause the radio to squeal, so I have new LED lights from rigid industries (that's today's project since dumb dumb is in town so we can't fly!)
